The Complete Utility-Scale Solar Curriculum: Introducing the Utility-Scale Solar Executive Bundle

If you’ve been following Andy Nyce’s courses on HeatSpring, you know the catalog has grown substantially. Andy has spent over a decade working across every phase of utility-scale solar execution, and over the past few years he’s turned that experience into one of the most practical, field-tested course catalogs in the industry – covering everything from development and land control to commissioning, SCADA, and long-term O&M. 

We’ve now organized that catalog into four structured bundles, each designed for a different stage of your career and a different depth of investment.

The Three Professional Bundles

For professionals who want to go deep on a specific phase of a utility-scale solar project, we’ve built three role-focused bundles:

The Pre-Construction Professional in Utility-Scale Solar bundle covers the work that happens before construction begins – the development process that takes a project from site identification to financial close, and the pre-construction planning that sets up an EPC for a successful build. It’s a strong fit for project managers, development associates, and anyone working on the commercial or contractual side of utility-scale solar.

The Construction Professional in Utility-Scale Solar bundle covers the core knowledge needed to manage a solar construction project: construction and project management, reading plan sets, SCADA and communications systems, and quality management. It’s built for people who are in the field or managing projects and want a deeper, more complete picture of how utility-scale construction actually works.

The Commissioning & Operations Professional in Utility-Scale Solar bundle covers the transition from construction closeout to long-term plant performance – the commissioning process from the EPC’s perspective, and the O&M fundamentals that keep a plant running efficiently across its operating life.

Each of these bundles is purpose-built. If your work lives primarily in one phase of the project lifecycle, any one of them is a great investment in that specialty.

The Utility-Scale Solar Executive Bundle

If you’re earlier in your career and trying to understand how the whole industry fits together – or if you’re a few years in and ready to make a serious move toward a Director, VP, or operations leadership role – the Executive bundle is what we’d point you to.

It includes all ten of Andy’s utility-scale courses, starting with Utility-Scale Solar PV Fundamentals and moving through every phase of the project lifecycle: development, pre-construction, construction management, construction drawings, SCADA, quality management, commissioning, and O&M. It’s the same curriculum as the three Professional bundles combined.

The value here is straightforward. The people who advance into senior leadership roles in this industry aren’t just experts in one phase, they’re the ones who can speak credibly across all of them. They understand what the development team handed off and why certain decisions were made. They know what the commissioning team needs before construction wraps. They can have an informed conversation with the O&M team about what good handover documentation looks like. That cross-functional fluency is hard to develop on the job because most roles don’t expose you to the full picture. Luckily, this bundle does.

Andy brings over 2 gigawatts of hands-on experience to every course in this catalog. Every course is taught from the field up – how the work actually gets done, in sequence, by someone who has done it.
