The Solar Center offers a number of opportunities for professional development, many of which qualify for continuing education credit. Engineers, architects, designers, installers, contractors, builders, inspectors, teachers, and other professionals are invited to attend workshops and training sessions related to renewable energy and green buildings. These programs are held at various locations across North Carolina in order to reach as many people as possible.

The series is geared towards electrical contractors, building and electrical inspectors, builders and architects, small business and land owners, plumbers, HVAC firms, and individuals who want a higher level of professional training and understanding in this growing industry.
