MREA Course Offerings

Many of our courses are approved for NABCEP continuing education. Each course will have the approved NABCEP credits available for review, and you can see a full list of courses that are approved by NABCEP here. 

Additionally, an easy way to search by certification is to visit NABCEP’s Course Catalog to narrow your search.

We’ve created course packages for the PV Installation Professional and PV Specialist NABCEP Board Certifications that give you the required hours of Advanced PV Training to meet your exam application requirements.

A great introduction to the electrical field is our (G 108) Working With Electricity course. No prerequisites are required!

Additionally, our Basic Photovoltaics (PV 101) is the first solar course you should take if you’re new to the field, and it’s the prerequisite for many other PV courses. If you’re interested in a solar credential like the NABCEP PV Associate, then our Core Course Package (PV 101-201-202) is required. You can take the courses one at a time (sequentially) or sign up for all three courses at once.
