Actually I was a student of petroleum engineering. But after graduating, I shifted my career to solar, therefore, I have no academic with electrical and solar. Just my work experience taught me to continue to work in solar. So, for example, I know only .. "ok if I want to choose breaker size for inverter, I will multiply the inverter output with 1.25." That's all. I was missing the reason. This course taungh me the reason behind of selecting equipments and rating. And the lectures and course contents will really attracts me to continue to learn and answer the quizzs.

The course was very simple. Basically just watched video lectures and answered multiple choice questioned quizzes, which were also very simple. I am looking forward to attending the in person lab to get a feel for working with the installation equipment, tools, and procedures. I’ll probably have a better review of the course after completing the lab.There wasn’t much interaction with my instructor-not a bad thing. There were three graded assignments that needed to be submitted through the course portal. All of the instructions for the assignments were clear and straight forward. They were also very simple.After completing the course, I think I would have planned my approach a bit differently; reading more of the textbook and additional resources to broaden my scope of the course material and overall subject matter. I’m hoping that I still have access to the course materials to review the course content later.Overall content, but still eager to learn the technical hands-on skills.

SEI provides a great curriculum packed with information and instructors that care about everything involved! I Took PV101 online and you can really tell how much they enjoy working with solar and teaching the world about regenerative energy.

PV101 was a well-made online class. For those who have no or very little PV related knowledge, this course would be perfect. I did wish there were more details in certain areas since I already work in the field, but I learned most of the material I took the course to learn. Self-paced and very doable. I work full-time and spent 1 workday per week over the course timeframe (about 8-10 hours per week) for those wondering. Instructors were very responsive and friendly.

PV 101 Online was a great certification course to take. SEI does a great job on teaching the content thoroughly. It's not always exciting content, but the videos are easy to follow along with.
