New training opportunities include high wattage modules and ACPV technology; continued expansion of on-demand webinars

Dublin (Georgia), April 2, 2013.—MAGE SOLAR ACADEMY, a premiere training and education arena for the PV industry, has released its course curriculum for the second half of the year.

After the successful introduction of a completely new online segment at the beginning of 2013, MAGE SOLAR ACADEMY will increase its convenient on-demand course offerings to include Electrical Grounding and Bonding as well as PV Field Inspectors. Already available in online format are Solar Civics and Fundamentals of Solar Business and Technical Sales.

Continued emphasis will also be given to the Academy's courses taught in a traditional classroom setting. Training materials have been updated to reflect the most current industry trends and technologies, and will incorporate ACPV modules with frame-attached microinverters and large-format high-wattage modules. The most popular class at MAGE SOLAR ACADEMY, Solar PV 101-Entry Level, will be offered once per quarter as usual (July 22-26 and November 11-15). Successful completion of this course will allow students to sit for the NABCEP Entry Level Exam.
