ADVEN/NABCEP Approved Solar Installer Training-Austin
Solar PV Installer Training
The training course is a combination of lecture; hands on training; real world solar applications; solar installation contractor training; National Electrical Code (NEC) information; explanations of solar rebates offered in Texas and Federal tax credit incentives; and Texas solar installation contractor requirements.
The classes are interactive and include class participation. The "hands-on-training" includes the complete installation of a Solar Electric system, from installing the solar panels on the roof, to the complete wiring of the balance of systems. There is two days of hands-on installation and lab training that includes all materials and tools to do the job right.
This course teaches the NABCEP Photovoltaic (PV) Entry Level Certificate of Knowledge learning objectives. The certificate of training, which all course graduates receive, will satisfy one of the requirements needed to be a solar system installation service provider in some Texas solar rebate programs. Students that complete the class will also qualify to take the NABCEP Entry Level Certificate of Knowledge of PV Systems Exam.
Anyone interested in learning about or working in the solar industry or starting a solar energy company may attend this class. No particular skills are needed. A construction background and/or electrical experience are helpful.
