How long will it take to review my subscription application?
Most subscription applications are reviewed and approved immediately. Some, however, may take one or two business days. If you're anxious to get started reading SolarPro, click here to download sample articles or a complete sample back issue.

When can I expect to receive the first issue of my subscription?
If your online subscription application is approved, you can login and receive immediate access to the current issue and all back issues of SolarPro in downloadable PDF or in HTML. SolarPro's print edition is delivered to U.S. addresses based on the following approximate schedule. If your subscription application (or renewal) is approved before the 15th of any even-numbered month, your first print edition will arrive by mail around the 15th of the subsequent (odd-numbered) month. For example, subscription applications approved before April 15th, will receive their first issue around May 15th. The short answer is that you can expect your first print issue to arrive in as little as four weeks or in as long as twelve weeks.

How often is SolarPro published?
Six times each year in both print and digital editions.

When will subsequent print issues of SolarPro be delivered?
You'll usually see SolarPro in your mailbox between the 8th and 20th of the month preceding that issue's cover date. For example, the Dec/Jan issue will be delivered in November. Due to a number of magazine production variables, each issue's arrival date will vary from one to the next.

How much does a subscription cost?
SolarPro is free to qualifying individuals. Likewise, renewals are free to qualifying individuals.

Who can qualify for a subscription to SolarPro?
Qualifying subscribers are actively employed in the solar industry or a closely related field.

I was notified that my subscription application was not approved. Why is that?
In order to maintain our free subscription policy, SolarPro relies entirely on its advertising sales to pay the bills. In turn, we promise our advertisers a stringently pre-qualified audience of readers, ensuring them premium advertising value. Less rigid subscriber acceptance standards are costly for us and diminish the high-quality advertising environment we insist on providing.

Can non-qualifying individuals purchase a subscription to SolarPro?
Not at this time. However, unless you request otherwise, we'll retain your email address (only) in order to notify you if this option is available in the future.

Do you offer free sample copies to prospective subscribers or the general public?
Yes, you can download a sample copy of SolarPro in PDF (and browse additional sample content) by clicking here. We cannot provide individual sample copies of the print edition.

How can I get back issues of SolarPro?
All SolarPro subscribers have access to the full back issue archive online. Print edition back issues are not available and cannot be purchased at this time. If that changes, we'll be sure to notify all subscribers in turn.

How do I change my subscription mailing address or other account information?
Simply log in, visit the My Account page, and click on the appropriate link in the "Your Profile" subsection.

Will I be notified when it is time to renew my annual subscription?
Yes. Whether you are subscribed to our print or digital edition, we will remind you via email when your subscription is due to expire. Subscription renewal is not possible prior to 30 days before your expiration date and simply involves verifying/updating your previous application information.

Is it possible to sign up for both the print edition and the digital edition?
Yes. When you subscribe to the print edition, you will be given a solarprofessional.com login. This login will enable you to view all magazine content on the Web site including the complete digital edition. In other words, print edition subscribers are actually subscribed to both versions.

Can I subscribe for multiple years at once?

No. All subscribers are required to re-qualify annually, but we make it very easy for you to do so. Your annual renewal simply involves verifying/updating your previous application information. If none of your information has changed since the previous year, the renewal process should only require a single click.

How can I switch between digital and print edition subscriptions?
Simply log in, visit the My Account page, and click on "Switch to a Print [Digital] Subscription".

Is SolarPro available for retail purchase on newsstands?
No. SolarPro is available by subscription only. However, sample copies are frequently available at industry events and trainings.

How can I add my business to the online business directory?
You must first be a SolarPro subscriber before you can create a business directory listing. Once you're subscribed to SolarPro, simply log in, visit the My Account page, and click on "Create New Directory Listing."

How can I add a listing to the Training/Jobs/Events/Press Headlines page?
You must first be a SolarPro subscriber before you can create any of these listings. Once you're subscribed to SolarPro, simply log in, visit the My Account page and click on "Create New Directory Listing." Once you've created your business directory listing, your My Account page displays options that allow you to create new training, job, event and press headline listings.

How can I get my training listed in the print edition of SolarPro?
Trainings listed in the print edition of SolarPro are comprised of those courses posted to our online training calendar by subscribers and are not accepted via other avenues. On or near the 15th of each odd-numbered month, we compile all listings from our online training calendar that have start dates beginning with the first month of the next SolarPro issue. For example, on or near March 15th, we compile all online training listings with start dates on or after June 1st for publication in the June/July print edition of SolarPro. Each print edition lists a total of four months of training dates, on a space available basis, starting with the issue date. So the June/July edition includes training dates that fall in June, July, August and September. Effectively, your training must be posted to our online training calendar a MINIMUM of 11 weeks prior to its start date in order to appear in a print edition of SolarPro.
