If you, like me, get bored with conventional online trainings, let me suggest this training... which borders on unorthodox.

The content is well laid out, with thorough explanations and easy access to the instructor. Plus it can be done at home, on lunch break, or while taking the train to work. Super convenient! Highly recommended!

Having taught online courses in chemistry for the local community college, I can say that this course is well designed. You can always pause the lecture when needed and the discussion posts and quizzes are very helpful.

I feel much more confident in my understanding of solar principles after completing Sean White's PV Installer Boot Camp.

Better yet, I already referred two guys that I know to take the boot camp and installer classes through here!

This is a great course packed full of information in a user friendly format. You get your money's worth with all of the course information plus additional bonus information to further you studies. Having the audio files of the videos available for reviewing while commuting is a great tool.

by Zach Schwartz, YellowLite 03/15/2018

Very great instructor and course - I came away from a speed-taking of the course (2.5 weeks) going from 0 knowledge about PV to nearly scoring a 100 on a practice level PV exam.

by Robert Baghdasarian, General Manager, LA Power Center Corporation 02/20/2018

Easy to follow, informative and simple.

I would recommend this course to anyone that needs to learn more about the various processes of the solar industry.

by Sean Buckley, Owner, Harvest Sun Solar 01/06/2018

A comprehensive course taught by a true wizard of the solar industry… He will make sure that you find understanding and competence with the curriculum, even if you get just foolishly hung up on something simple… Can't lose here, this is not to just pass a test, works great for that, but truly you can go from that to serving your customers and yourself with confidence and competence.

by Eric Lichtenheld, Owner, Intelligent Solutions LLC 10/21/2017

I took the NABCEP PV Installer exam this morning and did not feel that it was as difficult as I remembered the NABCEP entry level exam to be. But I did not have the benefit of Sean's teaching back then. No matter what my score on the exam today, I am sure that it will be at least 30 points higher for having taken this course! Thanks Sean!

by Jonah Whitten, Solar Ki 10/13/2017

If your new to the industry this course gives you the fundamentals of PV as a foundation of knowledge to build on.

by Carola Voelker, Director of Projects, Centroplan USA LLC 10/09/2017

The course was very helpful for me. It freshed up the rather dry and sometimes boring/ difficult topics of the NEC.

by Dan Ruiz, foreman, black platinum solar&electric 09/24/2017

this is a really good course tho the videos are alittle long i do have a short attention span tho so it could just be me.

by Yeon Soo Chung, Design Engineer, Nishikawa Cooper LLC 09/01/2017

I appreciated this course. Next step is to pass the exam, and a bigger challenge will be find a job as a PV installer and gain installation experience (I live in a state where solar has not taken off, so maybe I will need to move out of state). This course gives me basic knowledge as I start this job-searching process post-exam, and I hope it will give me a good foundation to start my hands-on experience as an installer. The instructor is very punctual and helpful in his responses to discussion board questions. His lectures cover a variety of topics as he tries to give you a big-picture view of the solar energy industry in this entry level course. The way he repeats important concepts throughout the course as reminders is also very helpful.
