HOMER training is the fastest way to get started using HOMER or to take your HOMER ability to the next level. HOMER was developed over decades - truly exploring its features often requires assistance. We recommend the intro course for anyone who wants to better understand HOMER's capabilities, including managers who are overseeing their own staff using HOMER.

HOMER Trainings come in three basic varieties - Standard online courses offered on a regular schedule, customized or private online courses, or classroom training for one day up to one week.

The Online Introduction to HOMER course introduces the fundamentals of the HOMER optimization model. This course begins with a 2-hr session, followed 2 days later by a 1-hour session (3 hours total). It is designed for the beginning HOMER user. Participants are taken through a worked example using HOMER - from specifying your load, getting resource data, creating an initial system configurations, and interpreting and honing your results. There is a one-day break between sessions that allows participants to try the material on their own and then get instructor feedback during the final session. You will come out of the course with the fundamentals that you need to run HOMER for a simple system.

You may sign up now via our online course catalog for available training sessions and offerings.

Private HOMER training is available either at our facilities in Boulder, Colorado, USA, at your facilities and location, or online (15 participant maximum online). The basic workshops are described below. We can also customize these basic workshops with additional content tailored to specific client needs. Email HOMER Energy for pricing for customized content.

Level 1 training workshop: Participants get a basic introduction to renewable power systems and hybrid design concepts. They work through a series of instructor-led HOMER exercises. This is a one-day training if in person or a series of three on-line workshops of 2 hours each.

Level 2 training workshop: This builds on the Level 1 training by including more advanced concepts and individual or small group exercises that are supervised by the instructor. This is a two-day training if in person or a series of six on-line workshops of 2 hours each.

Level 3 training workshop: This builds on the Level 2 training by providing additional advanced concepts based on the client’s specific needs and substantial instructor feedback for the individual or small group exercises. This is a three-day training if in person or a series of nine on-line workshops of 2 hours each.

All students must bring their own computer and have their own copy of the HOMER software.
