    Are you or someone you know considering joining the solar workforce? If so, MREA's Solar Training Academy is the best place to start! ☀️

    With no prerequisites or previous experience required, the Solar Training Academy provides a springboard into the renewable energy field, taking students from “square one” all the way to the NABCEP PV Associate Exam—a sought-after solar credential valued by the industry.

    In this series of courses students start from the ground up learning the basics of working with electricity and photovoltaics (solar electricity), analyzing a site's solar resource, designing placement of all the components in a solar system, and even hands-on training using a mobile training lab. The culmination of the series is the student's eligibility to sit for an industry leading credentialing exam, the NABCEP PV Associate Exam! This entry level credential is a great resume builder and the first step towards more advanced credentialing opportunities. 

    For the first time since the start of the pandemic the MREA has scheduled a full tour of the Midwest and will be traveling to five states and seven different locations! The schedules vary for each location so be sure to visit our website for all the details! www.midwestrenew.org/sta
