Lets see, we first divided the certification program into solar pv and
solar thermal certifications, now you are talking about wanting on-grid
and off-grid certification, and I assume after that we can have on-grid
roof integrated, off-grid with generator, on-grid pole mounted, on-grid
single-phase, off-grid with wind option, on-grid 3-phase, and finally,
off-grid with gel-cell certification.  

Sorry, but I feel like being NAPCEP certified as a solar pv installer
should mean you have the knowledge, experience, and training (and passed
the testing!) to handle ALL types of pv systems, even if your local
market wants all of the same type systems.   I have installed many
grid-tie systems that included battery back-up when a client is in an
area with lots of short power interruptions, and they did not want or
could not have a generator.  Yes, grid-tie systems are less expensive,
and easier and faster to install, but there are still many opportunities
out there for battery-based systems and you should know how to install
them.

Who knows,  we may all be called back to convert those grid-tie systems
to battery-based systems if things keep going they way they are going!
