I'm Duncan Miller, I help solar professionals get trained and earn certification to act on climate.

Waivolt is a technology company developing educational tools for solar professionals. We have decided to Waive the cost of training for courses in our 0 to Solar Hero Program for qualified Solar Hero Applicants. We also offer free practice exams to prepare for NABCEP PV Certification Exams.

In addition to our courses developed by IREC Certified Master PV Trainers, we have also developed advanced educational tools using artificial intelligence to help students.

Our core values:

Championing all solar professionals and their work

The site is open to all solar professionals, regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, gender, age, disability, or skill level that agree to follow the code of conduct and student honor system.

I've been working in renewable energy training for the building trades since 2006 and have developed training and training software for tens of thousands of solar PV professionals and solar companies. In 2024 I created Waivolt, an Oregon benefit company, to help solar professionals get NABCEP Certified.

Now more than ever, the world is in need of solar professionals. The recent passage of the Inflation Reduction Act has paved the way for hundreds of billions of dollars of investment in solar. Millions of professionals will be required to do the job that could literally affect the future of the human species, are you up for it?
