About the Episode:

NABCEP is the closest thing we have to an industry-standard certification, yet many installers and solar companies don’t require NABCEP certified installers on their crews!  

Should NABCEP credentials be mandatory? 

At RE+ Northeast, Jada Alcindor from NABCEP asked around to answer one of the industry’s key questions: “How much does a NABCEP certification help installers when it comes to designing systems accurately?” When she sat down with John Novak, the founder and CPO of Scanifly, she found a clear answer. And you get to ‘eavesdrop’ on this conversation between two solar junkies as they break down the benefits of certifying installers, talk up some industry-leading tech, and show you how to get free continuing NABCEP education credits. 

If you're curious about designing top-notch solar energy systems or just love learning about interesting technology, hit play! 

To learn more about Scanifly you should find their booth at the upcoming NABCEP conference in Raleigh, North Carolina, from March 18 to 21, 2024! 

See you in Raleigh
