Solar Training - Solar Electric Lab Week (Battery-Based)

Integrating generator back-up will also be covered.  Participants will concentrate on battery safety, wiring, and maintenance, and will wire balance of system components including:  combiner boxes, disconnects, power centers, controllers, battery banks, and inverters.  Set-up, basic programming, and testing of components for specific battery-based applications will be integrated into the lab sessions.  Students will learn fundamental procedures for safe installation and commissioning practices, and all exercises will have an emphasis on battery safety considerations.  The maximum eight to one student-to-instructor ratio and comprehensive lab setting create the ultimate environment to get your first hands-on PV and battery experience.

Prerequisites:  PV 101 and PV 203 online or in-person (or students who have completed PV D&I workshops prior to January 2010).
