Hello MREA friends and family,

With great enthusiasm, we bring you another year of easily accessible and affordable renewable energy education opportunities. Great minds have collaborated to create new courses and update curriculum, and hopes are high that we’ve got training to suit everyone’s learning preference and schedule—from curious homeowners to ambitious entrepreneurs, electricians to engineers, students to veterans, and apprentices to masters.

Last year we trained over 1,100 people in our online, classroom, and lab courses. Our Solar Training Academies reached 58 eager young solar professionals in the Midwest, we partnered with Illinois State University and the University of Minnesota to help students and PV design and sales internships, and we’ve been working with The Solar Foundation to place interns with solar contractors in three states.

Want flexible online courses? We have them.
Prefer face-to-face and hands-on training? We have that too.
Need weekend courses? Not a problem.
Like accelerated programs so you can get it all done in one week? Okay.
Craving new information about batteries, PV financing, O&M? Check, check, and check. Time to renew your license? Most of our courses are approved for continuing education. Interested in NABCEP certification? You’ve come to the right place.

Whether your intent is to start a new career, upkeep your credential, expand your library
of knowledge, learn new skills, or battle pollution and climate change, we’ve got the renewable energy courses you need.

Thanks for another great year, and we’ll see you in 2019!
