Over 1000 people have already attended this event and thoroughly enjoyed it – but we knew we could make it newer and better.

Captivating, Inspired, Engaging, Amazing, Enjoyable, ...are just some of the words our alumni use to describe our flagship Boot Camp. Even though our students rave about it, we've completely overhauled our course to be the most cutting-edge solar training event in the land. Please come see why so many acclaim Boots on the Roof as the hands-on learning experience that stands head and shoulders above other technical seminars they've attended.


What's new?

The business of Solar Energy is expanding and evolving at a tremendous pace, so we’ve updated this course to include the latest technology, the latest software tools, and latest feedback from professionals in the field. Solar is faster, more affordable, more fun than ever. For many, solar is more profitable than ever too. (Your actual mileage may vary.)

We've taken all we know about making learning fun and engaging, and combined it with this cool new stuff:

  • The newest solar panels, crystalline, thin-film, building integrated, even the flexible rolls.
  • The newest high-speed racking solutions, to give you a speed and cost advantage over your competitors.
  • The newest inverters: learn to correctly design and install: central inverters, microinverters, transformerless inverters, distributed inverters, and more.
  • Monitoring: the newest systems are part of the web 2.0 future. We'll show you how to make the systems you install "talk" to you and to your customers ( and to their smart phones, too)
  • Software tools: We’ll show you how some of the best solar software tools can help you do more work, in less time.
  • Working safely on pitched roof – because no matter how high-tech solar becomes, you still need to put your boots on the roof to install it ( OK, that part’s not new, but it’s still really important)
  • Would you like even more "Hands On" time, building complete systems with all this new stuff? Click here!


What will I learn?
We’ll do all we can in one week to prepare you for the business of solar. We’ll use a blend of classroom time, and hands-on lab time with real solar equipment. The main topics include solar-electric system design, installation, and safety procedures. We’ll also explore solar incentives, financing options, and how to sell solar systems. (a more detailed list of topics is below)
