Certification
The North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP)
NABCEP is a volunteer board of renewable energy stakeholder representatives
that includes representatives of the solar industry, NABCEP
certificants, renewable energy organizations, state policy makers,
educational institutions, and the trades. Each member of the board was
chosen because of his or her experience and involvement in the solar
energy industry. NABCEP’s mission – to support, and work with, the
renewable energy and energy efficiency industries, professionals, and
stakeholders – is intended to develop and implement quality credentialing
and certification programs for practitioners.
NABCEP’s goal is to develop voluntary national certification programs that will:
- Promote renewable energy;
- Provide value to practitioners;
- Promote worker safety and skill; and
- Promote consumer confidence
NABCEP Entry Level Certificate Program
The Entry Level Certificate Program is designed for those individuals wanted to get into the solar field; it is a way for them to show they have achieved basic knowledge comprehension and application of key terms and concepts of photovoltaic (solar electric) system operations. The certificate demonstrates that the student has passed an industry-designed exam based on learning objectives developed by subject matter experts.
Individuals passing the NABCEP PV Entry Level Exam should not be confused with NABCEP Certified PV Installers.
