Student reviews

I've learned a ton of core knowledge from this course. Personally, the handbook 'Solar PV Engineering and Installation' by Sean White is an absolute must for walking through this course with it in hand.

Comparing my knowledge prior to taking this course to after completion, I feel I have gained much and am in a much better position to take the PVIP exam.

I am so glad I dedicated the time and expenses for this course. I struggled with the best way to study for the NABCEP and I feel this really keeps one on track and focused. Great course, great instructor and great material!

ok

As a 15-year veteran of the residential solar business, this course was valuable to me for clarifying and reinforcing the "Why" and "How" behind all the "What" I've learned to do over the years. Never too late to learn more, and I'm looking forward to taking (and passing!) the PVIP exam and adding the NABCEP cert to my name and my business. Get started in solar on the right foot with the right knowledge, or build on what you know and move to the next step of expertise and value. More solar, yes, and especially MORE SOLAR DONE RIGHT.

A great course second to none. It seems long but there is so much to get through. A must for PV installers

Sean's PVIP course was crucial in preparing for the exam. Despite how complicated the material and process of the exam is, Sean does an excellent job of breaking down all the different sections and making the entire process clear and understandable. His responsiveness to discussion board posts also allowed any confusion or questions to be quickly resolved.

This was a great course and I will be taking more of Sean's classes very consistently as I move through the industry.

very funny guy, the course is long and technical but Shawn was able to handle it and make it a bit fun.

I highly recommend this course to get an introduction into energy storage for those who are trying to obtain more knowledge or join this industry.

As a licensed master electrician. I didn't need the NEC over view, Im pretty sure I can thumb my way around the code book.

well this is great help.

If you are wondering if this course is worth the cost, it is. You will walk away from this with 100% confidence in your knowledge base. I would not have passed my NABCEP pro and inspector without the courses from Sean and Bill

This course is better served to advanced PV students that have some formal education

The Heatspring Solar PV 40-hour Advanced Certification Training was a crucial resource for leveling up my knowledge in the quickly developing solar industry. I am far more confident in my work as a solar operations lead, and can apply it in many different areas throughout the industry. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is taking their training seriously and wants to pursue a career in solar.

I found this course as well as previous heatspring courses useful in obtaining and maintaining my NABCEP certification.

This online course is the best of both worlds. The videos allow you to work at your own pace, but the instructor is always able to be reached and is very eager to answer questions or just talk solar.

Great course, great instructors, up to date materials, and enjoyable.

I would have no chance of passing this exam without this course. The practice exams and explanations are great ways to make sure I'm accurately applying the information I'm learning. I passed the first practice exam I took, which really reduced my fear and stress surrounding the exam. Super grateful for the information I learned!

I won't know how effective the course is until I take the exam.

This course is not only good for getting the NABCEP PVIP. It also prepares you to pass electrical exams for Master, or Journeyman. I highly recommend this course.

Sean White was an extraordinary instructor with a wealth of knowledge and an ability to illustrate his knowledge in a way that is understandable and not over the head of the average student,

Great course from Sean!

Students : We do not learn , we ABSORB ! The key is repetitiveness !

I highly recommend this NABCEP PVIP training course by Sean White/Bill Brooks. I have really learned alot and nothing beats direct training from industry experts with in depth knowledge/experience of the NEC and what's required for passing NABCEP Exams...so get enrolled!!!

Hip Hip horray!

Would prefer to be anonymous: The instructor was very knowledgeable and engaging and the self paced format allowed me to work at my own pace and let the information sink in.

If you want a good mix of high-level information about energy storage systems, as well as a deep dive into what makes them tick, then this is the course for you! Would highly recommend for professionals who are in the installation/implementation space or even in the development space if you are just looking to learn more about energy storage. My brain hurts after this course, but in a good way!

I learned a lot, thank you!

The course well very detailed. So much practical application to my current and dream roles. The expertise and wealth of knowledge is palpable in each module. Highly recommend.

Excellent Discussion board feedback.

The best energy storage course to day. A must if in the energy industry.

As someone who has some experience with installation, but who is still learning, this course really helped make sense of the National Electric Code and brought my understanding to a whole different level. In addition to all of the materials, having access to Sean via the discussion forum where you can ask any questions you can think up was also really valuable. I'm feeling much more prepared to take the NABCEP exam than I was when I started.

My knowledge of PV design has increased immensely by taking this course. I would suggest it to anyone pursuing a career in Solar.

A great overview of the current energy storage market and tech options. A good balance of general info and technical details. This is my second course with Sean and I've enjoyed both!

If you're just starting out in Solar PV or are switching your career path to solar, this course is going to give you the real info that people in the solar industry deal with every day, AND help you pass the N.A.B.C.E.P. P.V.I.P. exam.

Great in depth information and a little fun along the way. It's clear that Mr. White has a real passion for solar and has genuine experience in the industry.

I am really happy I took this course because without it I would not have qualified to take a NABCEP test. Now I can take my PVS exam and after I get experience in the field I can take the PVIP exam.

This is a necessary course for anyone interested in Energy Storage. Sean White takes a sometimes boring subject and infuses it with just enough personality to make it enjoyable. This course is absolutely worth the price of admission.

Energy storage is the future and there is no better way to start your journey than to take this in-depth course.

A VERY in-depth and detailed course that will enable you to become knowledgeable and confident within the PV industry. This is an incredible tool and resource (the only one you'll likely need) to prepare for the NABCEP PVIP exam! There is a plethora of extra/additional content that supplements the core material to prepare for the NABCEP PVIP exam. Sean White and Bill Brooks are not only guru's, been in the industry for decades, but also help write the NEC code that this course prepares you to be examined. Great teaching style to help lighten the material. Thank you Sean!

Excellent course. Clearly taught by a very knowledgable teacher. I am preparing for the NABCEP PVIP exam and this was the perfect study guide. Many practice exams with the answers explained in great detail. The ability to work at my own pace but still having instructor feedback and responses makes for a very convenient and smooth learning process. If you are preparing for any NABCEP exam, this course is a must.

I've been working in the PV industry for 9 years and wish I took this class when I started. It's taken me years to learn what he teaches in this 18 hour course

This course is perfect for those who have not had much experience in energy storage as well as those who have been in the field. Sean does a fantastic job laying down the basic fundamentals while also layering in the higher-level technical aspects of ESS. He provides the history of the technology and keeps the content relevant to our current times with fun humor sprinkled in to keep things interesting & fresh. I very much intend on taking more courses from Sean after this.

Sean does a fantastic job and diving deep into the subject of solar and energy storage. He seems like he enjoys what he does and it comes across in his tutorials. This is important when learning with online tutorials as they can often be dry and the lack of human engagement can make a class anemic. Sean has the complete opposite effect and it has been a pleasure to attend his class.

watch the videos as mach as you need to understand as much as you can, and to at least navigate the NEC fast and effectively

I would highly recommend this course for an intensive detail of everything you should know about solar.
