Are you hoping to level up your solar knowledge by gaining the NABCEP Associate credential and beyond? Do you want to build your expertise in one of the fastest growing energy sectors? If you answered yes to any or all of the above questions, consider joining HeatSpring and Sean White for NABCEP PV Associate Training at the 2022 NABCEP Continuing Education (CE) Conference. Here’s five reasons why you should join us in Phoenix this March. 1. Networking The NABCEP CE Conference is the ultimate conference to connect with technical solar experts. NABCEP has been the gold standard in the industry for 20 years. The exams are challenging and the individuals who prepare for and pass them are some of the best and brightest in the industry. By attending the HeatSpring PVA preparation course live at the NABCEP CE Conference, you get 4 days full of opportunities to meet and mingle with solar professionals from across the country and the world. Yaw Mould-Mograbi came to the 2021 PV Associate Training at the NABCEP CE Conference in Knoxville all the way from Ghana. With his extensive business background and some experience with solar project development, he came to learn more about the full solar process from A to Z. When asked about his experience, Yaw said, “I do feel as though I met tons of great people. I hope to one day have this type of training available here [in Ghana].” Despite the U.S. solar industry employing over 231,000 people, the community feels surprisingly small. If you make a habit of attending the NABCEP CE Conference, you will likely see some folks again and again. Building a strong solar network can pay dividends over time, especially when you are in the market for new job opportunities. Your network can help you get a foot in the door. Whether your goal is to expand your network or kick start a new career opportunity, the NABCEP CE Conference is a great place to connect with technical people in the industry. 2.
