SEI training aligned with NABCEP Certification




SEI’S training program counts towards the training requirements for taking the NABCEP certification examinations.  Most of SEI’s training can be taken either online or in-person.  NABCEP certification is based on both training and field experience.

The NABCEP Certification Handbook is a very helpful resource in understanding the Certification process.  NABCEP offers entry level knowledge assessment, professional certification, and company accreditation programs to renewable energy professionals throughout North America and the world. Raising industry standards and promoting consumer confidence, NABCEP is known as the “gold standard” for PV Certifications.  NABCEP is the most respected, well-established, and widely recognized certification organization for North American solar professionals.

SEI Spanish Program Curriculum Translator
and Developer Bertram Peterson helped
solar power a refugee camp in Greece


“In order to improve the living conditions in the camp, I joined a team from TU Delft to found Energy for Refugees, an NGO that aims to provide energy to those who need it most. With a couple of grants from the university and a crowdfunding campaign, we were able to fund and install a 24 kW, interconnected PV system in the camp. This system is expected to save approximately 10,000 €/year in energy and/or diesel costs and alleviate a portion of the stress on the local grid, thus helping avoid blackouts. At the same time students from TU Delft learned the hands-on side of solar and project management,” Bertram shared. Read more
