For the team at BayWa r.e. Power Solutions, Inc., getting everyone home safely is just as important as the megawatts they install. As an EPC contractor constructing renewable energy systems for medium to utility-scale projects, the team has completed over 1,700 MW of solar installations across the United States, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Guam. High-quality training courses are essential to keep the team safe and sharp. 

The BayWa r.e. Operations team was looking for an external platform to complement internal training efforts. HeatSpring was recommended by a team member who had successfully passed the NABCEP PV Installation Professional Certification Exam. A quick scroll through HeatSpring’s large selection of solar-specific courses convinced the BayWa r.e. Operations team to integrate the platform into existing training efforts.


Today, BayWa r.e. has access to the entire HeatSpring course catalog. Topics include NABCEP Certification Prep, OSHA and NFPA trainings, and introductory Solar 101 courses for less technical individuals, among others.

“Heatspring provides a wide selection of solar-specific courses that allow us to easily access industry resources for our team,” shared Erica Lodge, VP of Operations at BayWa r.e. Power Solutions, Inc.

The BayWa r.e. team needed not only a wide variety of industry-leading courses, but rapid support to build their training program quickly. They were impressed by the responsiveness of HeatSpring’s customer support team.

“HeatSpring provides exceptional customer service, ensuring we receive the highest quality training and support,” said Lodge. “Our questions and issues are resolved quickly every time.”

What makes BayWa r.e. such a valuable partner is their active engagement with HeatSpring’s platform development. They regularly provide feedback on what features would best support their team’s learning and development efforts.

In fact, BayWa r.e.’s input was the catalyst behind HeatSpring’s new Certification Tracker feature. This tool allows individuals and teams to track all their professional credentials in one centralized location. For team training leaders, the tracker provides invaluable visibility through the team dashboard, ensuring everyone stays current while maintaining an accurate view across the organization. 

BayWa r.e. Power Solutions, Inc. remains committed to the continuous training and development of its employees, both in the field and office, ensuring every team member returns home safely.
