ALACHUA, Fla., June 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) published the second edition of its Solar Photovoltaic (PV) System Installer curriculum. This highly anticipated release will help provide critical support for a sector that has seen skyrocketing demand for new projects and the skilled professionals who build them.
Solar Photovoltaic System Installer, 2nd Edition is a robust modernization of NCCER’s solar training program, which debuted in 2011. The curriculum includes the latest equipment, tools, technology and best practices used in PV installation.

This introductory module is aligned with the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners® (NABCEP) Photovoltaic Associate™ certification test.
In addition, the curriculum offers interim credentials with two optional career paths for trainees — Roof-Mounted PV Installer and Ground-Mounted PV Installer — giving learners the opportunity to pursue the full Solar PV Installer program or a specialized pathway.
