UL Certified PV Systems Installer Practice Exam

If you’re an electrician who’s interested in the UL Certified PV Systems Installer program, we now have a full UL certification practice exam available for you.

Sean White developed the test and has made it a part of his 40-Hour Advanced NABCEP PV Course (it’s part of Module 5).

Sean’s practice exam will help prepare you to pass the UL PV Installer Certification exam. In order for someone to apply for the exam, they have to be an electrician of some sort. Additionally, you need to have taken an OSHA 10 class.

The UL PV Installer Certification exam is based on the 2014 NEC. The information in the NEC changes over time, but is mostly the same. There are a few things that are different, such as how grounded PV systems are defined.
