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!

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
