Why Get NABCEP Certified?

Brian Hayden Brian Hayden

Is getting NABCEP Certified worth it?  It’s the only game in town in the solar industry, but it’s not really required – it’s not a license.  People ask me whether it’s worth it all the time and I don’t really know…is it worth it to go to college?  Peter Thiel doesn’t think so.

Since I’m not certified myself, I asked Chris to explain it to me.  Why did he go for it?

This is part of a longer interview about the NABCEP Exam and what it’s really like to take it.  Most of the interview is included with our NABCEP Prep Course, but I thought this little snippet might be interesting for anybody that’s considering the path to solar certification.

Are you planning to get NABCEP Certified?  Why or why not?
