The most common form of payment for our training is by credit card. We also accept checks by mail, wire transfers (wire transfers carry additional fees), ACH and Paypal. Payment Plans are available for the SEI Solar Professionals Certificate program. Applicants can apply to be considered for a payment plan during the certificate program application process. A payment plan will usually consist of $500 down and a monthly payment of $500. View SEI Solar Professionals Certificate Program details…

SPCP Program Monthly Payment Plans
You can apply for a payment plan with SEI to cover the cost of your full Certificate Program. If you are approved for a payment plan, you will be required to pay a $500 down payment at the time of registration. Monthly payments of $500 (suggested) will begin on an agreed upon day of the month. Contact us to set up a monthly payment plan.
Pay as you go
If you do not have the funds to pay for the entire Certificate Program or NABCEP PVA Prep Package, and do not qualify for the other funding options shown here, consider paying for one course at a time, starting with PVOL101 Online. View upcoming courses…
Workforce funding
If you are unemployed or underemployed and reside in Colorado you may qualify for Workforce/Job retraining funding for part or all of your tuition cost for training with Solar Energy International (SEI). More Info…
Workforce funding
SEI is currently approved in Colorado for our PVOL101 online course, our PV201L hands-on lab and our Residential & Commercial Photovoltaic Systems Certificate. If you are unemployed or underemployed, and live in the state of Colorado, you may qualify for Workforce funding for part or all of your tuition cost for training with Solar Energy International (SEI).
The first step is to decide which training you are interested in starting out with, either the PVOL101 or perhaps a more complete training package such as our Residential & Commercial Photovoltaic Systems Certificate. You can see our current Training Schedule which includes courses, dates, and pricing and of course feel free to call an SEI Counselor at 970-527-7657 extension 213 to discuss which training is right for you.
The next step is to schedule an appointment with a counselor at your local workforce office. You can find your local workforce office by using the workforce locator. They will use their local/statewide system as well as their national site to search training providers that are approved for their workforce funding program.
Scholarships
If you are in financial need and have exhausted all other options, including looking into Workforce funding, we do have a limited scholarship program that assists students in need with tuition cost coverage. More Info…
Scholarships
Generally, the scholarships awarded are partial scholarships, starting off with online training that does not have the additional costs included with traveling to an in-person training. To read more about and apply for a scholarship with SEI, please check out our visit our Scholarships page. We also have a Scholarship eligibility form you can start by filling out. Depending on the fund you choose to apply for, you may be eligible for a scholarship, but remember the process is competitive and you should be ready to provide proof of completing our free RE100 Introduction to Renewable Energy Course prior to applying in some cases, as well as providing your household income information and essays regarding why you deserve to be chosen for a scholarship
