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 November 2007, there have been 422 NABCEP-certified PV installers and 56 NABCEP-certifiedsolar thermal installers.
