AEE Dealer Trainings:
Registration ONLY through AEE Solar
 AEE Solar is having their First Annual AEE Solar Dealer Conference in Mesa, Arizona, from February 6-9. SEI and AEE have partnered together to offer two concurrent SEI PV training workshops from February 11-15. Dealers can choose either the Grid-Tied PV or Advanced PV: Design Criteria and NEC Compliance workshops. The Grid-Tied PV workshop is 5 days long and consists of 4 days of classroom lecture and one day of hands-on labs and a mock-up installation of grid-tied system. The Advanced PV workshop is also 5 days long and consists of 4 days of classroom lecture and one day of a mock-up installation of a stand-alone system. Both workshops will include a tour of the Arizona State University’s PV Test Lab.
Students must register through AEE Solar. Do not register through SEI. The fee per
workshop for the class is $850 to AEE dealers. Upon completion, you will receive a $100 credit on your next order with AEE Solar. Click here to register through AEE Solar.
