Student reviews

After taking the PVIP exam, I realized that I have been studying for the exam for three years either in the field installing and asking questions from great master electricians or in an office creating resources for engineers in the office and installers in the field. However, the practice questions allowed me to orient my test-taking mind for the PVIP. I made an 83 on the actual exam and credit the last push required for passing to this course. Many Thanks!

I started this journey ten years ago when I took the PVIP after being in the trade for 3 years and failed. I waited another 10 years before trying again and passed with more knowledge.

The truth is I don't like studying. But with this course and the need to improve myself in my professional life, I am learning to study, concentrate and give my best. I hope I can pass the exam that is my goal

What a great course! Sean White delivers some great introductory knowledge for solar professionals that want to take the next step in their careers or for anyone interested in learning more about PV solar. 11/10!

Looked for a class that gave me the necessary knowledge and a good guide to study. The practice exam and explanations are a great learning tool!

Sean White and Bill Brooks explain things well and are very reponsive to to questions during the course. Very recommended course to take.

This is the best course for solar that you can get. I started last year as a laborer, worked my way as a technician and now I am a field manager due to this course. I use the information every day on our job sites, I feel confident with what I know and the results show in our arrays.

This course is full of useful information, sure to increase your working knowledge of PV systems and their installation. Sean's approach helps to retain dense material with humor and in depth explanations. I'm thankful that this is the path I took towards my NABCEP PVIP certification.

This course really helped guide me in my studies and provided a lot of new information. I am very eager to take the exam now.

It was an honor to take a course with the greatest snowboarder of all time

The video course was made very well, with plenty of practice exam questions and good explanations of the material

I've taken a lot of online classes, and this course is the best I've ever taken. Sean really takes the time to thoroughly explain course material and is very responsive on the discussion board. I have no doubts that I will pass the PVIP exam on my first attempt. Thanks Sean!

If you want to level up in the solar industry, there is no better way to do it than to become a NABCEP PVIP. If you want to study for the PVIP exam, there is no place better to do that than HeatSpring.

Sean and Bill are excellent resources for PV professionals of all levels of expertise.

The course bundle and the PVIP test prep gave me a solid foundation for the PVIP exam. I personally did the 18 Hour PV Solar Boot Camp, the 40-Hour NABCEP Advanced PV Certification Training, and the NABCEP PV Installation Professional (PVIP) Practice Exam. I was able to pass the test on my first attempt. The NABCEP PVIP exam was more challenging than I expected, but I was able to fall back on the foundation I had learned through the course and then work through the challenging questions. I could hear Sean talking over my shoulder! I would definitely recommend the course package!

This course was really well prepared and thought out; from the delivery and organization, to the resources and active discussion board. I feel grateful to have landed in the Heatspring courses, you can always tell when someone truly loves what they are teaching. Now that I have finished the "Battery Storage Bootcamp & 40hr NABCEP Advanced PV Training", I'll continue with the "Additional Videos" and start diving into several other Courses. Thank you for all the collaborative efforts to create and maintain these program(s).

I’ve been in the industry since 2015, gaining a lot of direct practical knowledge as well as passive learning along the way. I really wish I had taken this course 10 years ago! It's an interactive and interesting class, but it's also easy to put in the background while doing other tasks after reading the textbook chapters. I know I’ll refer back to this material throughout the year. I feel prepared to take this test.

They way Sean explains and uses repetition to engrave concepts in your brain is awesome! It really helps to take this course if you want to pass the exam or improve your knowledge in solar!

This course is a complete package for those preparing for the NABCEP PVA exam. I would also recommend Sean White's text book - Solar Photovoltaic Basics - as a guide to prepare for the exam.

The course was much better than I expected. I have taken many online courses in my career, and Sean did a great job of making the lessons engaging and breaking down some of the complexities of the topics.

Great course with lots of information, would highly recommend.

Sean, thank you for putting together these practice questions, they were very instrumental in my passing of the PVIP exam. I felt well prepared and was confident of my answers on the majority of the exam.

The Heatspring 18 Hour Solar PV Bootcamp course is an incredibly valuable tool, whether you've worked in PV for years or are just getting started in the industry. The self-guided approach allows those who have experience to spend more time on topics they are less familiar with, while moving quickly through items that may be more review for them. I also think the course does a great job of balancing teaching the material in a way that allows it to be fully understood, as opposed to "teaching to the test", while still making sure it does prepare for the actual examination. Great course that I will absolutely return to even after completing my certifications!

This is a self-paced course, so the most important thing is to just watch the videos without half-assing it. Make sure you grasp the concepts before moving on to the next video. No one will force you to understand everything except for yourself

The NABCEP certifications are great, this course will get you to your goal.

I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to enter the solar industry and preparing for the NABCEP PVIP exam. It's an excellent industry filled with smart, driven professionals and endless opportunities for growth.

This course is an awesome way to prep for the NABCEP exam. Do it!

No.

Highly recommended course! I learned a lot of practical and hands-on information, even already being an Energy Systems Engineer with career experience. I wish I would have taken it 5 years sooner. It is THE way to learn how to get solar PV on roofs and batteries in garages. This will be THE critical skill set for the 21st century and can unlock harmony of people, planet, and prosperity.

Yep.

This course was great because of the enthusiasm of the instructor (Sean White). It makes a huge difference in keeping things interesting.

If youre studying for your PVIP exam, this is the one for you!

This course is very informative, engaging and easy to follow. Sean Keeps your attention through the entire thing!

Whether your new to the solar industry or a seasoned solar veteran in need of a refresher course, this 18-Hour Solar PV Bootcamp provides a plethora of a great information to fast-track your continued solar education.

this is a great class and an effective way to learn about solar. thank you Sean and HeatSpring.

Great course with a lot of technical information that has expanded my knowledge and abilities in the solar industry.

This course is a must-take for anyone starting their journey in the solar industry! I wish the solar EPC I work at made me take this in the first month after I was hired.

Engaging and entertaining course that is a great entry point into the solar power + energy storage world. I am an energy systems engineer with career experience and I still learned a lot. The Associate course is an awesome choice for anyone that wants to work in this high-demand and growing field. Highly recommended!

I've learned a ton of core knowledge from this course. Personally, the handbook 'Solar PV Engineering and Installation' by Sean White is an absolute must for walking through this course with it in hand.
