What is the MSTN?

Launched in 2009, the U.S. Department of Energy established the Solar Instructor Training Network (SITN), composed of nine Regional Training Providers (RTPs) to help fulfill a critical need for high-quality, local, and accessible training in solar system design, installation, sales, and inspection through train-the-trainer programs.  The nine RTPs are well-established solar training institutions that offer expert trainers and first-class training facilities across the U.S. The Midwest Solar Training Network (MSTN) is the network for the Midwest.

The Regional Training provider for the Midwest is the Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA).  MREA manages the Midwest Solar Training Network by  provideing instructor development opportunities and organizing a network of instructors, installers, engineers, administrators, and other industry stakeholders to create and share instructional resources.

If your organization or institution is located in the Midest, and you would like to be a part of the Midwest Solar Training Network, please contact us!
