Student reviews

Whether you have been involved in ESS or are new to the industry this is a great primer to get someone familiar with the technologies and regulations they may encounter.

Hope this will help me complete the Nabcep exams which will be more stressful and timing

Prior to taking the course I had very limited knowledge of PV and how it is supposed to function. My limited experience was field level installation without any theory. This course in just 18hours has explained many things about PV that I had no prior understanding of. In a very short amount of time my knowledge of PV application/installation has increased dramatically.

I took this course in preparation for the PVIP exam 40-hr prep course. Even with years of Solar installation experience, I learned a tremendous amount from this entry-level course. I feel as though it has filled in the gaps of my knowledge of solar design, installation, and use. This is a great foundation for anyone in the industry, and I am confident in building up to more advanced material from here.

I have been in the residential and commercial solar market for 14 years and have gained most of my knowledge by "baptism by fire". Although there were a lot of topics that were more review for myself, I learned many knowledgeable terms and strategies, as well as, additional info on storage being feasible which was something I am lacking in my education. I have trained many consultants over the years and this program would have saved me a lot of that time as it covers everything you need to know and is more comprehensive than the teachings I have given! Thanks for the lesson, Tim!

This BOOT Camp was a very good introduction to the solar PV. I now am more comfortable regarding the initial stage of system design and performance estimation.

I absolutely love the way Sean does his lectures. The funny explanations and side notes are great. If all college/other courses were the same way, it would be soooo much easier to stay engaged!

This was a great course and I will be taking more of Sean's classes very consistently as I move through the industry.

Did this course. Passed the PVTS exam first time!

I highly recommend this course to get an introduction into energy storage for those who are trying to obtain more knowledge or join this industry.

If you are wondering if this course is worth the cost, it is. You will walk away from this with 100% confidence in your knowledge base. I would not have passed my NABCEP pro and inspector without the courses from Sean and Bill

NABCEP certification is a sure fire way to demonstrate your expertise and credibility in the growing solar energy field. Heatspring courses are the perfect tools to help you achieve those certifications.

I would confidently walk out of the 18 hours with a much better idea of the solar industry, and be sure that I could work in the industry knowing what I have learnt is useful in the field.

Sean White is awesome and his enthusiasm for solar power is unmatched!

Thanks Sean.

This course is better served to advanced PV students that have some formal education

I've really enjoyed the entire program. I've learned a lot. There is a lot of information, in some areas maybe too much information, but I'll know for sure after the test. It is difficult bc there is a lot of areas that we don't necessarily have to deal with anymore due to software and such. That would be my only area of pause. Other then that, I feel prepared for the test.

I found this course as well as previous heatspring courses useful in obtaining and maintaining my NABCEP certification.

I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested or currently active in a commercial solar sales role.

I had prior experience with both selling solar and installing solar, so I wasn't sure how impactful this course would be. I was immediately impressed with the course layout and educational approach of Mr. White. I picked up a ton on the electrical side of the process and installation. I was mainly on the roof, not in the panel, so it helped a great deal. Again, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to get into solar.

I really enjoyed the course. It gave me a lot of confidence heading into my NABCEP test.

If you want to "REALLY" get into this technology, this is a great place to start!

This course put together by Sean White and Heatspring is invaluable. I took the course and went from being a "new guy" at work to being viewed as an expert. If you are serious about the PV industry - education is the path to success. Cheers to many sunny days ahead!

This course went through all the details on selling & developing solar while being really accessible. It was so great to pick up right where you left off in the recorded videos whenever you have time. The instructor, Tim, was super knowledgeable and very thorough. He also shared some of his personal experience and explained how to apply industry standards to each of his points. Definitely learned a lot!

Tim's course on selling and developing commercial solar projects is a magnificent resource to gain the knowledge you need to develop top quality solar projects, and close them. After taking the course, I truly feel that my arsenal of skills for growing solar in the commercial sector has grown tremendously. This course has a great range of topics that are organized in perfect order. From learning how to qualify potential projects and getting your foot in the door with decision makers, to pricing, presenting, and closing them, this course has it all!

Sean is a very knowledge person and responds quickly. I would recommend this course to anyone who is looking to increase their knowledge in the solar industry!

Tim's course is a great breakdown of the C&I sales & development process that I will likely be referencing frequently as a project developer. He was very open and helpful to answering all the questions I had. I highly recommend the course, and more specifically, instructor!

Sean White was an extraordinary instructor with a wealth of knowledge and an ability to illustrate his knowledge in a way that is understandable and not over the head of the average student,

Great course from Sean!

Great course, very thorough.

Perfect course to acquire a solid base and technical practicality on PV systems. Great instructor with high skills in explanation.

Sean really made the calculations part of the course very easy to understand.

Before doing this course, I did not much about work safety but having gone through this course I saw the emphasis on safety and the need to apply it in every work environment. So going forward safety is one thing I will consider in every workspace

If you want a good mix of high-level information about energy storage systems, as well as a deep dive into what makes them tick, then this is the course for you! Would highly recommend for professionals who are in the installation/implementation space or even in the development space if you are just looking to learn more about energy storage. My brain hurts after this course, but in a good way!

Sean's ability to communicate with everyone in all of his courses amazes me

I learned a lot, thank you!

Sean's an excellent communicator on all things solar! Whether you're looking to get a foot hold in the industry or advance your career, I highly recommend taking one of Sean's Heatspring courses! I feel more confident in my knowledge and the ability to more effectively communicate the basics of solar PV!

Instructor was fun and kind. Always messaging back on discussion board posts makes it feel more like a conversation and less of a task

The course well very detailed. So much practical application to my current and dream roles. The expertise and wealth of knowledge is palpable in each module. Highly recommend.

This course is really a down to earth and easily navigable way to introduce and train yourself on the material for the PVTS.

Excellent Discussion board feedback.

The best energy storage course to day. A must if in the energy industry.

Sean did a great job and I was able to gain a ton of new information.

A great overview of the current energy storage market and tech options. A good balance of general info and technical details. This is my second course with Sean and I've enjoyed both!

I work around other solar professionals and whenever they would see or hear the content I was learning or I would share my thoughts experience, they would literally verbalize their admiration and jealousy that they did not get to take this course as their NABCEP prep

I thoroughly enjoyed the content of this course and believe I have expanded my knowledge base in the field of PV. Sean was very informative and interactive in the discussion boards. How he can find the time to answer questions I know he's fielded a million times in a personalized tone is beyond me and highly appreciated.

I would recommend this course to snyone who wants a jump-start in their PV career!

I would recommend this course to anyone in the industry trying to understand how PV works.
