Course Description:  San Jose City College courses included in the program.

In this program you will learn the foundational skills for solar installation.   You will be introduced to solar photovoltaic (PV) power systems and their installation.  Upon successful completion you will have a rudimentary knowledge for an entry level position in the field.  The lab will provide hands-on experience with a variety of systems encountered in the industry. 

Students will review the theory of solar PV (photovoltaic) systems and their installation and prepare for the NABCEP (North American Board of Certified Energy Professionals) exam.  NABCEP certification requires that students pass an industry-designed exam, based on learning objectives developed by subject matter experts.  NABCEP certification is an industry recognized demonstration of basic knowledge, comprehension, and application of key terms and concepts of photovoltaic system operations.  Students holding the Entry Level Certificate may find that their employment opportunities in energy careers are enhanced.  Students taking the NABCEP exam at the end of the course are liable for the appropriate NABCEP fee.  A Workforce Institute Certificate of Completion will be awarded upon successful completion of the program.
