www.training4green.com/Adv-Principles-of-Photovoltaic.asp . This renewable energy course is an addition
to Allied’s solar education program, http://www.training4green.com which prepares students for North
American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) certification. According to the Pew
Charitable Trusts’ report, the U.S. clean energy economy grew approximately 9.1 percent between 1998
and 2007 to 777,000 jobs, outperforming total job growth in 38 states and the District of Columbia. With
increasing financial support from private/public sectors and President Obama’s nationwide focus on
renewable energy programs, the clean energy economy is creating a stunning demand for more specially
trained workers.
Allied’s renewable energy program prepares students to enter the green industry, as well as build-up
existing skills obtained from on-the-job experience. The Advanced Principles of PV Systems Installation
course is ideal for students with an entry-level PV installation background that are interested in obtaining
NABCEP certification. Course objectives include:
•Load (electrical management) analysis •Calculation of simple circuit values •Grid-interactive PV
installations •Performance analysis and troubleshooting techniques
Upon completion of the course, students will gain an understanding of PV system design, installation and
maintenance. Students should also be able to indentify hazards associated with PV installations; establish
suitable locations for PV array; visually inspect entire installation; assemble/install subsystems; and more.
Allied’s course and final exam are 100% online, so students make their own study schedules and maintain
personal obligations while pursuing their careers. Allied students also have access to live student support
and career assistance services.
President Obama plans on doubling U.S. renewable energy use by 2012. Individuals who prepare to enter
the green industry now will have a competitive edge over those who wait. To learn more about Allied
