Site assessors do not typically belong to unions, Many join professional associations, which offer useful career-development resources. For example, the Midwest Renewable Energy Association offers information about renewable energy, continuing education classes (including one on site assessment), networking opportunities, and scholarships.
Other major renewable energy associations include American Clean Power, Global Wind Energy Council, International Geothermal Energy Association, National Hydropower Association, Solar Energy Industries Association, and Wind Solar Alliance. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy provides a wealth of data about clean energy. The North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners offers certification for site assessors, sales workers, and other renewable energy workers. Clean energy workers in Canada should utilize resources from the Canadian Renewable Energy Association.
