We keep installing more and more utility-scale solar. So the need for utility-scale solar operations & maintenance will continue to grow. There’s a shortage of experienced O&M folks who can keep these systems performing, so starting today, for a limited time, we’re offering “Introduction to Utility-Scale Solar Operations & Maintenance” free for HeatSpring members.

If you’re a member, go grab your free seat. If you’re not a member, give it a try for $19.

About “Introduction to Utility-Scale Solar Operations & Maintenance”

Andy Nyce created this course to introduce you to everything you need to know about the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) of utility-scale solar power plants. Our goal is to fill the top of the talent pipeline.

By the end of this course, you’ll have a comprehensive understanding of the critical components and practices that keep solar power plants running efficiently and effectively. You’ll gain practical knowledge of essential O&M tasks, from routine inspections to advanced performance monitoring and troubleshooting.

The course is open to everyone but is primarily designed for individuals entering the solar O&M field who want to be well-prepared and successful from day one. It will also benefit professionals already in the solar industry looking to deepen their understanding of O&M practices.

This course will help you grasp the big picture of solar O&M and how all the parts fit together to ensure the longevity and performance of solar power plants. You will learn about various topics such as preventive maintenance, real-time operations, vegetation management, asset and warranty management, and much more.

Throughout the course, you’ll also have unlimited access to the instructor – Andy Nyce – who has been involved with over 2GW of large scale solar PV project execution and has a range of other courses on the Heatspring platform, with consistently excellent reviews. 

Students who enroll also get FREE access to the Foundations of Solar PV: Fundamentals for Understanding Utility-Scale Solar course. 

About HeatSpring Membership

HeatSpring Membership is a bundle of learning opportunities that would otherwise cost a lot more. Here’s what you get:

1. Extended access to paid courses. Wll of our courses come with 1-year of unlimited access. Sometimes people get busy and don’t finish, but they don’t want to pay for the class again. This is original reason we created HeatSpring membership. Now you can pay the small monthly fee for as long as you need to finish the class and get your certificate of completion.
2. Certificates of completion for all free courses. We have lots of teams that use our free courses for learning and professional development. If earning certificates of completion help with tracking and motivation, then membership is a really affordable tool to get better results for your team.
3. Member access to premium courses. With membership you get access to a bunch of premium courses that you would normally have to pay a lot more to take. Sometimes they carry CEUs. We try to add a new course every month to keep it fresh. Like all of our premium courses, once you’re enrolled you have a full year to take the course.

Membership is intended to lower the barrier to learning so you can make professional development a regular habit.

Membership is also available to Teams. Team discounts are applied automatically and team memberships have all of the same benefits as the individual memberships.
