Training & CEUs

APS offers consumer solar power training courses which can be held for groups of homeowners at our office. These classes are designed to provide information, instruction and guidance regarding the types and advantages of our solar products, their cost and method of incorporation into homes, or buildings. This is not a program designed for those wishing to learn more about solar energy systems.

There are several levels of the classes and can be counted towards 1.5 hours of AIA Sustainable Design continuing education. Those wishing to receive AIA credits must register at least one week in advance of the desired presentation. Please contact APS directly at sales@apowersolutions.com.
