Who is the course for?
Anyone who wants to learn how electricity is made from sunshine. Note that international (non-U.S) students receive a 20% discount on this course.

How long is it?
The online solar training course is self paced, and most students finish in 7 weeks. The total time is about 40-60 hours.

We recognize that most online courses are notoriously boring, and that many students do not finish them. So, we designed a fun, interactive online solar training course about the design & installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems.

We enhanced the course with interactive exercises, animations, quick quizzes, solar resources and video clips. We also include an entire solar kit with real solar PV cells, DC motors and a multi-meter. Our hands-on exercises help you really understand solar design!

You can do the course work whenever you wish, day or night, and an instructor is available to help you with your questions.

When you enroll in the course, you receive a complete reference textbook as well as a reference CD-ROM. Upon completing the online solar training course, students will be awarded the Boots Entry-level Photovoltaic Design certification.

This course fills up very quickly, and seats are very limited and strictly on a first-come-first-serve basis. To improve your chances of enrollment, we suggest you fill the form on the right, so a counselor can contact you for details.

"Boots on the Roof is a very informative and well taught program, while getting a great deal of information in the classroom, the day is also broken up with labs which not only shows the material we learned in class but also makes the day interesting instead of boring material. The material I learned was a lot more then I had expected."   - George, 6-Day Solar PV Boot Camp
