Description

This course is designed for individuals looking to build confidence and prepare for industry exams like the NABCEP Associate, especially through the "Experience Pathway" option. It covers the foundational principles of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and essential theories, including calculations, making it a great fit for anyone seeking to enhance their understanding of solar energy. The course offers over 130 multiple-choice questions (MCQs), each accompanied by detailed explanations and solutions, to help reinforce key concepts and provide practice for the NABCEP Associate Exam. Additionally, advanced-level NABCEP questions are included for those aiming to take their preparation further.

However, it's important to note that this course is not suitable for those pursuing the "Education Pathway" to qualify for the NABCEP Associate Exam. If you're following the "Education Pathway," you're advised to explore the Solar PV Boot Camp+ NABCEP PV Associate Exam Prep instead. For those following the "Experience Pathway," this course can be highly beneficial, especially if you've documented at least six months of experience in the field. For more details about the pathways, the course suggests referring to the official NABCEP PV Associate page.

The course is structured into four modules. The first two focus on fundamental theories related to solar PV systems, explained in a simple yet professional manner. The third module contains MCQs that are specifically geared toward preparing you for the NABCEP Associate Exam, while the final module offers additional questions aimed at boosting confidence through basic calculations. This course is ideal for beginners in solar PV systems, those with experience looking to solidify their knowledge, and anyone looking to build their understanding of solar energy theory and practice.
