So how does the solar course work?<\/em><\/h4>\n

\"\"Online Self-Paced Study:<\/strong>\u00a0 Registered students will have access to the 46-hour online Residential Solar Installation & Design<\/em> course.\u00a0 This course tracks with the provided textbook (Understanding Photovoltaics<\/a>), and is organized into 11 chapters, 71 major topic areas \u2013 with 11 review quizzes, 25 lab projects, over 550 narrated slides, dozens of integrated videos, links to online resources and materials for added comprehension and more.<\/p>\n

Upon registration, each student will be given access to this program and can begin studying at their own pace.\u00a0 But most people need a bit of structure – so that will be provided as well with weekly Zoom sessions.\u00a0 While this session is designed to begin August 22nd – you can start earlier if you like or even join us a bit later and catch up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong>Instructor-Led Study Sessions:<\/strong>\u00a0 Beginning August 22nd, instructor-led sessions via Zoom will be held to walk through each chapter and session, clarifying difficult concepts and reviewing the most important highlights.\u00a0 These sessions will take place once a week for six weeks (Tuesdays at 1 pm eastern).<\/p>\n

Instructor Availability via E-mail:<\/strong>\u00a0 Often questions arise and can’t wait for the next Zoom meeting.\u00a0 An instructor is available to answer questions via e-mail throughout the course.<\/p>\n

\"\"Hands-On Labs:<\/strong>\u00a0 On October 14th.\u00a0 University of Dayton will host the course hands-on labs, that provide opportunity to work directly with actual PV systems and also fulfills the hands-on requirements of the ETA PV Level 1 certification.\u00a0 The hands on labs take a full day to complete. Students will work in small groups and follow appropriate COVID-19 protocols (if that is still an issue).<\/p>\n

Remote Hands-On Option:<\/em>\u00a0 If it is not possible to travel to Dayton, OH to take the hands-on portion of the course, it is possible to proctor the hands-on tasks remotely (see task list below).\u00a0 In order for students to comply with the ETA certification requirements for remote hands-on testing they will need access to the appropriate equipment and materials.\u00a0 Contact the instructor<\/a> to for more information.<\/p>\n

\"\"Certification Examination:\u00a0 <\/strong>We will host an examination session on October 15th in Dayton, OH for those who prefer the pencil an paper option.\u00a0 We we hold a comprehensive review session in the morning, followed in the afternoon with a proctored exam.\u00a0 Remote proctoring is also available at a time scheduled by you if you cannot attend the in-person examination.<\/p>\n

Remotely Proctored Certification Examination:<\/strong>\u00a0 ETA now offers remote proctoring\"\"<\/a> of their examinations through ExamRoom AI.\u00a0\u00a0 In this way you can take the examination from your own computer, with a live remote proctor monitoring the process.\u00a0 We will help you through the process of registering for the examination.\u00a0 The certification examination fees ($155 to ETA and $14 to ExamRoom AI are included in the course registration fee).<\/p>\n

The examination consists of 75 multiple choice questions (with a 2-hour time limit).\u00a0 You must achieve a score of 75% to pass.<\/p>\n
