The MREA certifies Site Assessors in three technologies: photovoltaics, wind (home sized systems), and solar domestic hot water. Certified Site Assessors are renewable energy consultants who conduct site visits, complete load analysis, recommend site-specific renewable energy systems, and give clients a general cost estimate for renewable energy systems in a written report format.
The site assessment service is a computer intensive service that involves clear communication, calculation and succinct writing skills. Certification requires the successful completion of course work, skills testing, a written exam, and a certification fee.
