Renewables Certifications
Open Enrollment: Solar Systems Advanced Certification – Photovoltaic
SINGLE-COURSE CERTIFICATION
Photovoltaic (PV) systems are electrical systems that utilize the energy from photons within sunlight to produce electrical current and power anything from a single-family home to industrial-sized buildings. These systems are installed and maintained according to familiar electrical standards such as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). These Code bodies also defined specific practices and procedures to keep electrical workers safe in both energized and deenergized conditions. This course is designed to discuss PV principles, outline standards, and deliver the safest practices for all work involving PV systems.
Virtual: Solar Systems Advanced Certification – Photovoltaic
SINGLE-COURSE CERTIFICATION
Experience the same quality and engagement as our in-person Solar Systems and Safety training course while saving big on enrollment and employee travel costs. Our new virtual online training courses allow students to log-in remotely and fully participate in a live, instructor-led, online classroom experience.
Students can register for one of our pre-scheduled open enrollment dates or request a virtual onsite training if a large group of students need to be trained.
After completion of all requirements you must submit your certification application. Your certification package will include a certificate and laminated wallet card. If you're needing to renew an expiring or already expired certification, please contact us for a recertification application.
