¿Do you want to expand your knowledge in the renewable energy industry? With this program endorsed by Solar Energy International (SEI) and listed on Emagister, you will!
It all starts with the fundamentals, and a solid understanding of various components, system architectures, and applications for PV systems. Other topics include site analysis, system sizing, array configuration, and performance estimation; electrical design characteristics such as wiring, overcurrent protection, and grounding; a detailed look at module and inverter specifications and characteristics; mounting methods for various roof structures and ground-mounts; and an introduction to safely and effectively commissioning grid-direct PV systems. This course focuses on grid-direct PV systems but covers material critical to understanding all types of PV systems. These core concepts are expanded on in SEI’s upper level PV courses.
A tener en cuenta
Any person looking to start a career in the solar industry.
This course provides approved credit hours towards the following NABCEP Certifications and Recertifications:
PV Associate
PV Technical Sales Professional
Solar Heating Installer (Recertification only)
Please visit NABCEP’S online course catalog for credit hours breakdown.
SEI Contact Training Hours: 6 Weeks Online = 60 hours
After successfully completing this course and PV203/PVOL203, you are eligible to sit for the NABCEP PV Associate Exam (PVA). The PVA Exam includes questions on grid-direct and battery-based PV systems. Ask our advisors for our PVA Prep Training Package, and for information on NABCEP and signing up for the PV Associate Exam.
The online version of PV 101 is a comprehensive six-week course that covers all of the material presented in the in-person workshop and listed in the description, without the hands-on experience. The course is co-taught by two instructors, ensuring prompt attention and encouraging interaction between students and the instructors.
You will receive an email from one our Student Service Advisor team to help you get started with SEI.

Will White
PV Curriculum Developer
Will is a NABCEP Certified PV Installation Professional and NABCEP Certified Solar Heating Installer working in the renewable energy industry since 2005 when his started as an installer for RGS Energy, where he worked for 10 years taking many roles (sales, design, project management) and he eventually became the Director of Construction for the East Coast. Will has experience in wind power, solar thermal, and all scales of PV, although he has primarily focused on residential systems. Will is now spending his time developing curriculum for SEI and teaching at Vermont Technical College.
