Student reviews

Dr. Sean White's Associate prep course is a must-do for serious exam goers, if they'd like to experience a fun way of preparing for the exam's content !

If you are a solar installer or anyone looking to further increase your understanding of PV systems this course is where its at. Sean is an awesome instructor and breaks down complex material into easily understandable concepts .

As someone who has taught at the undergraduate and graduate level in an engineering discipline for over 30 years, I can say with certainty that Dr. White is an outstanding instructor. He will prepare you to take an pass the NABCEP PV ASSOCIATE EXAM.

"Multiply Ah by V to get battery capacity in Wh." One of the many tricks I learned from this course.

I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS COURSE TO ANY ONE, WHO WOULD LIKE TO BE A PV-SOLAR INSTALLER. HAVE NOT SEEN ANYONE WHO DOES THIS, LIKE SEAN WHITE DOES. SO MANY EXAMPLES. SOME ONE OF THESE EXAMPLES MUST BE RECORDED INTO YOUR LONG TERM MEMORY.

This course helped answer the questions I didn't know to ask about how to design and install solar energy systems, and put them in context.

I can't believe how convenient and efficient this material was to learn. Half-way through this course I received a preliminary sales call from a customer who was interested in off-grid. Already with what I had learned, I was able to answer his questions much more authoritatively. Super grateful Sean and Hotsprings! Can't wait to get started on my Advanced Training!

Great course, I don't recommend taking a break mid-course for a couple months tho lol

I think this course is resoursful if you are a rockie in the solar industry, Sean seems to have an answer for any question you might have.

this a great way to start learning PV the right way. I highly recommend it to all wanting to start in solar or who are already in the space.

Great course! Clear and concise with real world examples.

I enjoyed the course and learned a lot about PV. I liked the do it at your own pace. Sean was Great and very responsive.

Sean's enthusiasm and humor make this course #1. I feel very lucky to have taken this course with Sean. His response time was also an amazing feature, since this is all remote learning, it was great to have answers to questions within 18h (give or take). Sean's a great teacher, he knows what's important, and he keeps his courses updated!! I loved my experience and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a NABCEP course in Solar.

A rigorous and comprehensive course, that introduces one to the complexities of Solar Systems, and does a good job preparing you for the NABCEP Associates exam.

This course is the best way to gain the CEU's required for NABCEP exam while also gaining the required skill to pass the board exams. The topics covered are vast and extensive material is available to gain relevant experience in PV System design and code knowledge. Recommended for anyone appearing for NABCEP board exams!

Sean is a fantastic instructor! He shares his knowledge and extensive experience in an engaging manner.

I enjoyed the class and it's clear that Sean is incredibly knowledgable.

The course starts from the very basics to be a PV system hands on installer. It has plenty of useful tips and details for the ones as me that are beginning from scratch, and I think that the experienced ones will also find it useful.

Great course, surpassed my expectations by far, very updated the information and the mounting systems (quick mount, invisivmount, rails, etc.) Im crew lead at Freedom Solar power in Texas, i have some friends doing courses in other places but they teach old school systems, not very updated. congrats for that, the install tips for flashings, ballasted, etc are very accurate, like very experience installer, resuming, very happy with the course, many of the things that i knew on the course were by hands on, here i could have a better understanding of the theory and the WHY, as well many knew things learned. Thank you so much.

Sean White is an outstanding instructor and mentor. I enjoyed this course and looking to start PVIP.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone getting into the solar industry. I have been doing solar for 20+ years and still learned a lot from this course.

Take this course, do what Sean says and you will do well.

My experience with the Heat Spring course was very positive. The design of the course was very well put together in order to help advance the overall understanding of PV systems. The course also did a great job of teaching and helping to understand the technical aspects of PV systems. The course instructor did a fantastic job of thoroughly explaining each of the items and having the discussion platform, for instructor guidance and other student interaction and questions/comments, was very helpful. I also found the flexibility of the training schedule to be very beneficial. Thanks Sean!!

Graet course for PV beginners. Helps to have some electrical background

Sean is an amazing teacher and he approaches the subjects with tons of knowledge and is extremely easy to follow. He was very informative and goes above and beyond to make sure you understand the material. Some of the small calculator tricks I wish I had been taught in college and will definitely begin using in my everyday life.

This program is an excellent way for those in the PV industry to become familiar with a very wide range of PV design and operation concepts. Sean delivers the information in a way that emphasizes key concepts for all students and provides more in-depth analysis for advanced learners. 5 Stars!

I recommend the online PV Associate course taught by Dr Sean White at Heatspring. The course videos are effective and also entertaining. Communication with the instructor via the discussion board was convenient and the responses I got were prompt and complete.

This course is truly the comprehensive intro to PV class. Stop acting like you know PV because someone taught you how to size a net metering system! Take this class now and open your eyes!

This course gives you an in-depth dive into the world of PV. Sean's teaching style is interesting and keeps you engaged throughout the course. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in learning more about solar.
