PV301L: Solar Training - Solar Electric Lab Week (Battery-Based)

This five-day lab class is an amazing opportunity to get hands-­on experience with a wide range of battery-­based PV system components and architectures at SEI’s world­-class lab facility in Paonia, Colorado. Working in small groups with instructors who live and breathe battery-based PV, students install, test, and commission numerous PV systems with energy storage that address a wide range of applications. The labs in PV301L consist of stand­-alone and multimode PV systems, and include AC and DC coupled equipment. Many experienced solar professionals have never worked with batteries – this is your chance to leap to the front of the pack!

what you will learn

Students who complete the PV301L workshop will be able to:

  • Determine safe procedures for installing battery-based PV systems, including: wiring combiner boxes, disconnects, power centers, controllers, battery banks, and inverters
  • Understand fundamental procedures for commissioning and maintaining battery-based PV systems
  • Perform basic programming and testing of components for specific battery-based applications
