As I am strongly considering a future in Alternative Energy. I Recently attended the NASA weekend course, taught by Scott. The course materials provided was delivered well and easy to follow, Scott answered all question to give us a clear understanding before moving on. The hands-on portion of this course was a great chance to experience solar installations, we did roof, poll, ground mounts and strung up couple different systems which gave us a good idea of proper installation method. If you have an interest in solar installation, this is an ideal course to guide you on your path.

“I would like to thank Scott for this great Solar PV course, it was a great learning experience. This course gave me an introduction to the fundamentals, system design and actual installations. I learned to compare grid-tie and off-grid solar energy systems to other energy resources and explain how solar panels convert sunlight to electricity. I learned how to calculate the electrical demand of a building, how to reduce the overall demand, and then how to design a solar system that can meet that annual demand at a given location.”

This is just a short recommendation aimed at the NASA training I received from a Mr Scott Seidel. I thoroughly enjoyed the 2 day course on solar installation and ‘need to know’ education that Scott provided. The instruction was very clear and concise on panel installation and different aspects to net metering and stand alone systems. A great feature to the course was the actual hands on sections, where you can ascertain exactly how to go about installing different parts of a solar project. I was very glad to use the roof model and tools to install our own tracking and panels. Scott’s patience never wore thin, amongst the barrage of questions and banter that was spoken, I had an excellent experience and gained a further understanding of renewable energy. I now have the privilege of working with Scott intermittently now as we are both in the same field.

“Focus Forward for Indigenous Youth’s mission is to collaborate with Indigenous communities across Canada, empowering youth through locally developed trades-based education to strengthen individuals’ and communities’ futures. The North American Solar Academy has a similar focus on education and therefore was a perfect fit compared to other solar installation contractors.
Early in our consultation phase with the Wikwemikong community, they had a strong interest in integrating sustainable design and renewable energy into the construction project. They were excited that their youth would have the opportunity to get hands-on experience with Solar PV technology that is quickly being adopted by the community as a whole. Focus Forward explored multiple options regarding the installation of the solar PV system, we knew we wanted to the students to be involved in the installation but had concerns that typical solar contractors would not be focused on educating the students. After a few conversations with Scott Seidel from the North American Solar Academy, I knew their approach would provide the best outcome for the youth. Providing a two day in class training discussing solar and electrical theory and getting hands-on practice on a mock roof and equipment was perfect to build their confidence before they installed the 5 kW PV system on the roof of their high school over the next two days.
The students gained valuable skills that are in high demand in their community. The youth that had gone through the North American Solar Academy training in August are being asked to assist the community in installing more solar.
I am very pleased by the attention that was given to the students during this process and would like to partner with the North American Solar Academy on future projects in Indigenous communities.”

“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for inviting us to your 2-day course on Solar Energy.
Your course was excellent, as you know we already have had a small amount of experience installing solar power systems.
What we didn’t know was, well most of what your course teaches in your 2-day session. From design to installation everyone felt confident in their ability to either get their own systems done or design and install as a business, like us!
The information was given in a way that allowed everyone to understand at their own pace, your patience with everyone was second to none. Being in a room with others from other demographics as well as other countries was certainly a challenge, but your course managed to correspond to everyone present.
We now have the confidence to design and install our first systems for our many clients.”
Thank you

“North American Solar Academy came to Kingston Ontario to provide the 2-day course for thirteen employees at our organization. It would have been challenging to send this number of people to do the training out of town and it was much more economical to bring the training in-house. All the participants, including electricians and mechanics were pleased with the theory and they had a blast installing panels to a roof, a pole mount, a rack mount and finally connecting the solar modules to the combiners, inverters and the battery bank. Scott, the instructor was knowledgeable and was never stumped by any our technical questions. Now our organization has 13 employees that can talk the fundamentals of solar power generation as we endeavor to increase our renewable energy installations in the coming years. Thanks Scott!”
Mark S. – January 2017

“North American Solar Academy provided our Ontario team with a 2 day hands on course. Scott did an excellent job combining product specifications, working installations and knowledge of solar PV construction. Our team left with an excellent foundation in the construction of a typical roof top or ground mount installation for off grid and grid tied projects. We would recommend his course to anyone looking to construct a solar PV system on their house or business.”

“Moose Cree First Nation had the privilege of working with North American Solar Academy in fall of 2016. It was an excellent solar training curriculum and 10 of our community members enjoyed the detailed class room session and most of all; the hands on training of properly installing roof systems, pole mounted systems and ground mount systems. Scott Seidel is an excellent instructor and emphasized safety on many issues like proper electronic calculations, working with electricity AC/DC, working at heights, the right tools, the right work wear and labelling the components. I recommend this training package to Northern communities, training institutions and solar associations. We are looking to have Scott back for more sessions because we had tremendous interest from our community, his excellent instructor skills, hands on training and experiencing a functioning solar system which is rare in our community.”
Jay Monture

“I would like to thank you for coming down here to Hamilton to do solar training with us.
You included enough information to cover all the basics for those that may not have had any experience with solar power but also included enough information for those with some experience to challenge us and to help give us the information that we were looking for.
Your presentation was clear and followed logical steps so that we should be able to make the calculations that we need to do our work in developing countries.
I know that it is a lot of work to carry around all of your equipment as well as the roof and all the solar panels but the hands-on is a great addition for those of us who are visual learners.
Thanks for your pleasant demeanor and for answering all of our questions.”
