Solar Training (Electric)

This course will provide an overview of the three basic PV system applications, primarily focusing on grid-direct systems. The goal of the course is to create a fundamental understanding of the core concepts necessary to work with all PV systems, including:  system components, site analysis, PV module criteria, mounting solutions, safety, and commissioning. The course will also cover the basics of sizing a residential grid-direct system, wire sizing, overcurrent protection, and

This online solar training course establishes fundamental concepts required for safe, code-compliant design and installation of photovoltaic (PV) systems, with a focus on residential-sized grid-direct solar electric systems.  The goal of the course is to create a fundamental understanding of the core concepts necessary to work with all PV systems, including:  system components, site analysis, PV module criteria, mounting solutions, safety, and commissioning. 

This two-day hands-on workshop covers pumping technologies, PV modules, system sizing, and component selection.  Includes pump descriptions and comparisons with information on trackers, linear current boosters, and other associated equipment.  The workshop will include laboratory exercises and a system tour. Topics IncludePressureStorageDrip and spray irrigation systems 

This is the ultimate hands-on experience available!  This solar training workshop offers five days of hands-on installation practice with grid-direct systems at SEI’s world-class PV Lab training facility in Paonia, Colorado.  Students will install, teardown, dissect, and reinstall different grid-direct PV systems. The lab workshop will focus on safe installation and commissioning practices. The maximum eight to one student-to-instructor ratio and comprehensive lab setting create the perfect

With this solar training course for professionals you will apply the National Electrical Code (NEC) to residential and commercial grid-direct solar electric systems to ensure safe, code-compliant design and installation.   This workshop will build upon the core concepts from PV 101 and continue to emphasize grid-direct systems. 

Apply the National Electrical Code (NEC) to residential and commercial grid-direct solar electric systems to ensure safe, code-compliant design and installation.  This solar training workshop will build upon the core concepts from PV101 and continue to emphasize grid-direct systems.  PV202 will focus significantly on the National Electrical Code (NEC), including grid interface calculations, grounding considerations, and advanced component specification. 

Apply the National Electrical Code (NEC) to battery-based systems in this online solar training course to ensure safe, code-compliant design and installation. This course will build upon the core concepts from PV101, with a specific emphasis on battery-based system design.  Students will work through step-by-step design process for battery-based applications, including stand-alone (off-grid), grid-tied with battery back-up, and hybrid systems. 

PV206 Solar Business and Technical Sales is an excellent companion training opportunity to be taken with or after any of SEI's PV technical training. This workshop is a perfect fit for those currently working in the solar industry or hoping to work in solar sales to comprehensively cover business and financial topics not covered in our technical training.  PV206 Solar Business and Technical Sales has been developed from the ground up with a strong focus on business / financial principals and

This online solar training course, has been developed from the ground up with a strong focus on business principals and non-technical financial and economics topics, and is directly aligned with the NABCEP PV Technical Sales task analysis.  This workshop is for those currently working in the solar industry or hoping to work in solar sales. 

This workshop offers five days of hands-on installation practice with battery-based systems at SEI’s world-class PV Lab training facility in Paonia, Colorado.  Safely install, test, and commission battery-based PV systems in this solar training workshop.  Lab stations are comprised of both stand-alone and grid-tied with battery back-up systems, and include both AC and DC coupled systems.
