Training Programs

Since 1990, the Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA) has been offering industry-leading professional training for solar photovoltaics (PV). MREA courses are accredited by the Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC), and meet the educational requirements for credentialing by the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP).

Whether you want to start a career in the renewable energy field, maintain a credential, or install solar on your home, MREA has a variety of courses to advance your skills. We offer online and in-person learning options to fit your busy schedule.

We offer online training for all skill levels. From beginners to those working to earn or maintain solar professional credentials, we’ve got instructor-led and independent study courses to meet your needs.

Throughout the year, MREA offers students the opportunity to participate in hands-on in-person courses at our headquarters in Custer, WI, and in various locations throughout the Midwest.

The MREA is happy to welcome participants to our new Solar Plus Storage course package and training lab – the Energy Storage System Tech Center.
