PacificSky Solar's Leslie Andersen Earns Industry's Most Prestigious Certification

    LOS ANGELES, CA, January 22, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Leslie Andersen, Engineering and Design Manager of PacificSky Solar, has earned the solar industry's leading recognition of installation expertise from the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP ). Designation as a NABCEP PV Installation Professional is recognized as the most important and meaningful certification of its kind in the solar industry.

PV, or photovoltaic, systems produce electricity from sunlight. Most people have used a solar powered calculator or garden light, but PV panels can be configured to produce enough energy to power a home, school, or business - saving families and business owners thousands in monthly energy costs over time. Consumers look to the NABCEP certification as an indicator of top quality PV solar installation services.

"At PacificSky, we pride ourselves in delivering the absolute best installation services in Southern California," said David Makharadze of PacificSky Solar. "NABCEP's PV Installation Professional Certification is a reflection of the quality work that we do, and provides our customers with the added confidence that their solar panel installations will be completed to the highest standards in the industry."

To earn her NABCEP certification, Andersen was required to document education and experience related to PV system installation. Then, she had to pass a rigorous exam that covers the breadth of the multi-craft knowledge, skills, and abilities required to competently design, install, and maintain PV systems. The exam assesses knowledge on subjects as diverse as electrical and mechanical system design, job site safety, the National Electrical Code, roofing and construction techniques, and system maintenance and troubleshooting.

"One thing you can be assured of when hiring a NABCEP Certified PV Installation Professional is that your project won't be their first," said Richard Lawrence, Executive Director of NABCEP. "Anyone who makes the considerable effort required to earn NABCEP certification has documented their training and experience as part of the eligibility process. They have also made a very real commitment to upholding high standards of ethical and professional practice. I am delighted to welcome Leslie Andersen of PacificSky Solar to the ranks of the industry's leading solar professionals."
