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.
I had prior experience with both selling solar and installing solar, so I wasn't sure how impactful this course would be. I was immediately impressed with the course layout and educational approach of Mr. White. I picked up a ton on the electrical side of the process and installation. I was mainly on the roof, not in the panel, so it helped a great deal. Again, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to get into 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 really enjoyed the course. It gave me a lot of confidence heading into my NABCEP test.
If you want to "REALLY" get into this technology, this is a great place to start!
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.
This course put together by Sean White and Heatspring is invaluable. I took the course and went from being a "new guy" at work to being viewed as an expert. If you are serious about the PV industry - education is the path to success. Cheers to many sunny days ahead!

Sean is a very knowledge person and responds quickly. I would recommend this course to anyone who is looking to increase their knowledge in the solar industry!
Great course, very thorough.
Students : We do not learn , we ABSORB ! The key is repetitiveness !
Perfect course to acquire a solid base and technical practicality on PV systems. Great instructor with high skills in explanation.
Sean really made the calculations part of the course very easy to understand.
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!
Before doing this course, I did not much about work safety but having gone through this course I saw the emphasis on safety and the need to apply it in every work environment. So going forward safety is one thing I will consider in every workspace
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.
Sean's ability to communicate with everyone in all of his courses amazes me
Sean's an excellent communicator on all things solar! Whether you're looking to get a foot hold in the industry or advance your career, I highly recommend taking one of Sean's Heatspring courses! I feel more confident in my knowledge and the ability to more effectively communicate the basics of solar PV!
Instructor was fun and kind. Always messaging back on discussion board posts makes it feel more like a conversation and less of a task
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.
Sean did a great job and I was able to gain a ton of new information.
I work around other solar professionals and whenever they would see or hear the content I was learning or I would share my thoughts experience, they would literally verbalize their admiration and jealousy that they did not get to take this course as their NABCEP prep
I thoroughly enjoyed the content of this course and believe I have expanded my knowledge base in the field of PV. Sean was very informative and interactive in the discussion boards. How he can find the time to answer questions I know he's fielded a million times in a personalized tone is beyond me and highly appreciated.
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.
I would recommend this course to snyone who wants a jump-start in their PV career!
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.
I would recommend this course to anyone in the industry trying to understand how PV works.
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.
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.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone who needs to prepare for the NABCEP exam. Although I am a master electrician I am relatively new to the solar industry and found the advanced material in the course to be clearly presented and easy to understand. The practice exams and the explanation videos to the questions on the practice exams were so valuable in helping me gain the knowledge to be able to pass the NABCEP exam and also help in the field with installs and maintenance!
I passed my test the first time because of Sean's classes and books
This is a great course to prepare for the NABCEP professional exam. It has deepened my understanding of solar, electric, and the NEC, and has not only prepared me for the exam, but has also grown me to do my job better. It's great that you can go at your own pace, you gain valuable knowledge without constant pressure of deadlines. Sean is a great teacher, and this is a great course.
The Heatspring Advanced PV course is great. There is a large amount of material provided, covering all the exam objectives. Sean and Bill present the material in an often entertaining manner, which helped keep me interested and engaged, so I could learn and retain the knowledge I needed. It definitely was key to helping me pass the exam.
The course goes way beyond just learning about solar. All the additional information related to our craft made me feel like I got more than my money’s worth.
I found Sean's instruction to be very valuable and an enjoyable way to learn what I need to know while going for the NABCEP PV Installer exam.
Though I am designing the Solar PV system for residential and commercial since 8 years, this course made me mode so confident and more accurate design. I recommend to take this course who are in and thinking to come in PV sector.
I would recommend this course for anyone looking to obtain certification. I have taken other courses and they do not have the detailed explanations that this course covers. Also Sean's knowledge as an electrician speaks volumes.
I would strongly recommend Sean's course(s) to anyone looking to advance their knowledge about solar. His courses are very well designed to create a learning experience that makes you think about and understand each topic very well.
Thanks so much for the class I hope it helps me pass the test
Highly recommended! Sean's humor, industry experience and insight made covering the material very manageable.
A very thoroughly explained prep resource to take the NABCEP. So grateful I invested and took the class. Not only am I more confident to tackle the NABCEP exam, I have a year access to the materials so I can really solidify my knowledge and confidence. Thank you so much! Can't wait to crush the exam!!!
