Solar Electricity (Photovoltaics)

Establish 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.

Description:  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,

En este curso, los participantes aprenderán los elementos básicos de instalación de paneles fotovoltáicos, conectados a un sistema de baterías e interconectados a la red eléctrica.
