Student reviews

This course is a must-take for anyone starting their journey in the solar industry! I wish the solar EPC I work at made me take this in the first month after I was hired.

Engaging and entertaining course that is a great entry point into the solar power + energy storage world. I am an energy systems engineer with career experience and I still learned a lot. The Associate course is an awesome choice for anyone that wants to work in this high-demand and growing field. Highly recommended!

Hope this will help me complete the Nabcep exams which will be more stressful and timing

Prior to taking the course I had very limited knowledge of PV and how it is supposed to function. My limited experience was field level installation without any theory. This course in just 18hours has explained many things about PV that I had no prior understanding of. In a very short amount of time my knowledge of PV application/installation has increased dramatically.

I took this course in preparation for the PVIP exam 40-hr prep course. Even with years of Solar installation experience, I learned a tremendous amount from this entry-level course. I feel as though it has filled in the gaps of my knowledge of solar design, installation, and use. This is a great foundation for anyone in the industry, and I am confident in building up to more advanced material from here.

This BOOT Camp was a very good introduction to the solar PV. I now am more comfortable regarding the initial stage of system design and performance estimation.

Thanks for the information and training

I absolutely love the way Sean does his lectures. The funny explanations and side notes are great. If all college/other courses were the same way, it would be soooo much easier to stay engaged!

Did this course. Passed the PVTS exam first time!

This course is very informative even for folks that have been in the industry for a long time. I particularly enjoy the informational bonus material and the little details that you won't get elsewhere

You can never assume you know this stuff. Remembering what I once knew and seeing it in the totally of the NEC, IRC, IFC and all the rest. The course was a reminder to stay humble and interested in what is, what isn't and what will be in the solar and storage industry. Happy to see movement away form MLEs!

Found the course helpful and feel much better prepared to sit for the NABCEP certification exam.

NABCEP certification is a sure fire way to demonstrate your expertise and credibility in the growing solar energy field. Heatspring courses are the perfect tools to help you achieve those certifications.

I would confidently walk out of the 18 hours with a much better idea of the solar industry, and be sure that I could work in the industry knowing what I have learnt is useful in the field.

This course was able to provide me with a lot informations that boosted my confidence and I highly recommend it For those who want to get to next level this is obligatory passage .

This course was a fantastic resource to help deepen my understanding of PV systems. It went through the NEC, International and building codes. Great to listen to when I'm driving into work or on my way out the job site.

Sean White is awesome and his enthusiasm for solar power is unmatched!

Thanks Sean.

This is the best technical course in this field that I have encountered, and I would certainly purchase another.

I've really enjoyed the entire program. I've learned a lot. There is a lot of information, in some areas maybe too much information, but I'll know for sure after the test. It is difficult bc there is a lot of areas that we don't necessarily have to deal with anymore due to software and such. That would be my only area of pause. Other then that, I feel prepared for the test.

Sean is an entertaining presenter which helped keep my interest during the training. The content is great and applicable to what I do everyday. I leave this class feeling more confident in my work and having learned a few things.

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.

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!

The videos were fun and I knew I could rely on the expertise and knowledge of both Sean and Bill.

Sean White and Bill Brooks are industry experts with deep knowledge on so many aspects of PV design and code compliance. And they somehow manage to make every module interesting, even the trigonometry review module.

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.

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 will be coming back for more quality training!

This is the second time I've taken continuing education credits for renewing my NABCEP license, and the first time taking Sean White's Heatspring course. It has been extremely comprehensive with many deep dives on critical subjects, the depth and breadth of content covered by it is 2nd to none. I will be using Sean White's courses for my CE credits for the foreseeable future and recommend them to anyone looking to do the same.

Recommended course

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

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!

Thanks for taking the time

Instructor was fun and kind. Always messaging back on discussion board posts makes it feel more like a conversation and less of a task

This course is really a down to earth and easily navigable way to introduce and train yourself on the material for the PVTS.

What a great way to brush up on the NEC and solar requirements! Sean's podcast helped me pass the NABCEP the first time, and taking the course for continuing ed has been just as helpful! I know I will go back and listen to some of the materials again as I run into project work that relates.

Comprehensive resource for solar, energy storage, EV and other great topics. Well worth the time.

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.

Great job putting this course together. Lots of very good information that gives a very broad overview of solar. I will definitely use this class as a resource while I have access to it.

I would recommend this course to snyone who wants a jump-start in their PV career!

I would recommend this course to anyone in the industry trying to understand how PV works.
