General Information on Renewable Energy Training
|
The North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) is a volunteer board of renewable energy stakeholder representatives. Its mission is to support, and work with the renewable energy and energy efficiency industries, professionals, and stakeholders to develop and implement quality credentialing and certification programs for practitioners.
Consistent with this mission, NABCEP offers national, credentialing and certifications for renewable energy professionals. NABCEP began that work by creating a certification program for solar electric installers--referred to as the NABCEPTM Solar PV Installer Certification. As of October 2008, 587 individuals have passed NABCEP's PV Installer Certification exam. There are 85 NABCEP-certified solar thermal installers.
Technical and Community Colleges listed below with an asterisk (*) are approved providers for NABCEP training. CLICK HERE for a national listing.
