"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."
