The North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) is a volunteer board of renewable energy stakeholder representatives. Our mission is to support, and work with the renewable energy and energy efficiency industries, professionals, and stakeholders to develop and implement quality credentialing and certification programs for practitioners.

Consistent with this mission, NABCEP offers national, credentialing and certifications for renewable energy professionals.  NABCEP began that work by creating a certification program for solar electric installers--referred to as the NABCEP^TM Solar PV Installer Certification.  As of April 2008, 514 individuals have passed NABCEP’s PV Installer Certification exam. There are 72 NABCEP-certified solar thermal installers. The complete listing of NABCEP Certified Solar PV and Solar Thermal Installers can be viewed by clicking here.
