GREEN BUILDING
Course Description: A formal inspection of a photovoltaic system ensures that the PV system installation conforms to professional, legal, and regional electrical and mechanical standards. In this course, participants will become familiar with applicable standards that ensure that system mounting and attachments, electrical calculations, grounding, labeling, and documentation meet existing codes.
Course Description: This online course will guide participants through the design process for a utility interactive residential or small commercial PV system. Participants will become familiar with the procedures, tools, and resources used to select equipment, determine equipment location, plan system layout, perform string sizing, determine breaker size, and site the array. Participants will apply their knowledge by solving design challenges in three PV system case studies.
