Miami-Dade College Earth Ethics Institute has been hosting photovoltaic training classes for a couple years now with the help of PV evangelist and FAU professor emeritus of electrical engineering Dr. Roger Messenger.
From their website:
Designing PV Systems, June 5, 2009
This is a 7-hour course that introduces the process of PV system selection, PV system site selection, types of PV systems, PV system electrical design considerations, PV system structural design considerations and PV system permitting and paperwork. It is intended primarily for design professionals (architects and engineers) but should also be of interest to code officials and contractors. Electrical and solar contractors who have taken the Installing Photovoltaic Systems course and want to understand more about the PV system design process may also be interested in this course.
Installing PV Systems, June 6, 2009
This is a 7-hour course that introduces the process of PV system installation and focuses, in minute detail, on how to install a PV system that someone else has designed. It includes understanding the electrical design, siting and structural considerations, safety considerations, system commissioning and programming as well as permitting and paperwork. It is intended for electrical and solar contractors as well as for electrical and structural inspectors and plan reviewers.
These courses qualify for 7 CEUs each for those who need continuing ed credits, and they're NABCEP certified too.
Thanks to the emailer who reminded me to post this.

Solar installation contractors are good in preparing courses!! By the way, have you heard of MiNeeds.com? It really simplifies finding affordable contractors. I used it to find them for my construction. Essentially, after I described what I needed on this site, I received several competitive bids from local contractors. I liked the fact that I didn’t have to call around and negotiate with each, and that they actually came to me.
