I loved this course! If you are looking to move into solar construction management this is exactly what you need!

As a new analyst in the solar field, this course helped to provide me with the basics plus a deeper understanding of the processes and functions of solar. I would recommend it to anyone who has limited knowledge of the field!

Tim's class is a fantastic intro to the world of distribution connected solar. He provides historical perspective as well as looks into the future for trends that are coming down the road. If you're getting into developing or designing utility scale projects, this course is great!

This course provided a clear and comprehensive overview of the design and construction lifecycle for a typical Utility-Scale PV system. Andy Nyce communicated the significance of each process effectively, and I gained valuable insights into every step.

This course is definitely for a person who wants to learn everything about utility-scale solar projects from scratch and to create a good base before coming to the industry. I really learned a lot from this course, and it just gave me a lot of confidence and knowledge that now I can perform what is required. 

If you are new to the Solar world this course is a must!

I would strongly recommend this course. It improved my familiarity with general distribution schematics and technologies, accommodating PV integration, and the interconnection studies process

This course was fantastic! I've been aiming to get more involved in large scale renewable energy projects as an electrical engineer, and this really helped to provide me with some foundational knowledge to take the leap.

I am new to the renewable energy field. This was the first certification my organization asked me to complete. This course has given me a wonderful insight into the industry that is allowing me to excel in my role as a project coordinator. I can not wait to continue to use heat spring training courses to advance myself in this industry and my career.

From developer to design engineer, all will get useful and practical information out of this course about electric utility power systems in a way that is relevant to grid-connected, utility-scale PV installations.

As somebody with no experience in the solar industry I found this course very easy to understand and learn from, it offered fantastic breakdowns of every step on solar construction while providing strong technical details that were easy to understand.

Very informative, lots of very advanced material included for utility scale DER systems not covered in any other training I've seen.

After taking this course I realized the potential the solar industry had and have an increased desire to learn more. This course was well put together and is a great way to get knowledge in the solar industry.

I enjoyed the content of this course and found it effective enough for my professional development... but the authors' reading of the content on the slides made the narration seemingly worthless. If I knew that 99% of the course would be read from the slides, I would have just downloaded the slides and read them. The inconsistency with the last 1% of arbitrarily important information that was not written (arbitrarily by way of the quizzes) was incredibly frustrating.

Overall great information, recommend this course to anyone who gets involved in utility scale projects.

The course has expose me to great resources
