Solar Training School specializes in online photovoltaic education, focusing on design, installation and maintenance of photovoltaic (PV) systems. The classes emphasize safety, industry insight and workforce development. The course is appropriate for individuals seeking to establish a career in the solar energy industry or continued education for the solar professional.

The training is presented online via a self paced course with full instructor communication and support. After the student registers they may start, stop and revisit the online course for one full year. Informative PowerPoint and multimedia presentations are incorporated into the online classes. Students will participate in online quizzes and testing for evaluation, final outcome results, and better comprehension and retention of material. Upon completion of the course the student will have the ability to download and print a certificate of completion.

Upon registration of class the student will receive:

• Photovoltaic Systems Textbook

The textbook is the solar industry's premier reference and is used by the National Apprenticeship and Training Committee.

• Interactive CD ROM

The CD-ROM brings the textbook to life and includes an illustrated glossary, forms and worksheets, solar radiation data sets, sun path charts, solar time calculator, and other reference material.

• 5 watt photovoltaic module (solar panel). This small module is a miniature of the real thing and may be used to charge small devices, such as cell phones.

• Photovoltaic module kit with motor. The PV module kit adds a hands-on aspect to the course.
