Design Considerations for Efficient, Safe, and Profitable Large-Scale PV Systems
Technical Considerations for Realizing a Return on Your Investment at Solar Power International
Attending Solar Power International (SPI) is an exercise in prioritizing your goals. The sheer volume of potential activities presents a decision-making challenge for most attendees. SPI, for most companies, also represents a significant investment of time and resources. Sourcing and utilizing training to contribute to revenue generation must be top on the list of ways to realize a return on that capital. Fortunately for SPI attendees, training comes in a wide variety of topics and formats. The challenge is to identify the type of training you need to propel your business into greater success.
Large and Utility Scale Solar Considerations
If you are involved with large and utility scale solar projects or are looking to bring that level of expertise to your region of the world, then a top consideration at SPI should be the “Large-scale PV: Design Considerations and Case Studies” workshop.
This all-day session on Sunday, September 10, 2017 is presented by Solar Energy International (SEI) and will be taught by PV industry veterans, Kyra Holt and Rebekah Hren. Attendees receive eight NABCEP advanced educational hours toward the certification exam. Note, there is an additional fee to register.
For over 25 years, SEI has been a leader in preparing solar professionals for a clean energy economy. With 55,000 alumni whose ranks grow weekly, SEI has raised the standards of solar industry training, accreditation and implementation worldwide.

SEI is Offering Two In-person Classes in the United Arab Emirates – Oct. 29th and Nov. 5th
SEI is offering two in-person classes in the United Arab Emirates – October 29th and November 5th! These week-long courses take place at the RAK Research and Innovation Center, a one hour drive from Dubai. Registration is now open and spots are limited.
About SEI’s PV101 Course:
PV101 is your gateway to a career in the solar industry. It all starts with the fundamentals, and a solid understanding of various components, system architectures, and applications for PV systems. Other topics include site analysis, system sizing, array configuration, and performance estimation; electrical design characteristics such as wiring, overcurrent protection, and grounding; a detailed look at module and inverter specifications and characteristics; mounting methods for various roof structures and groundmounts; and an introduction to safely and effectively commissioning grid-direct PV systems. This course focuses on grid-direct PV systems, the largest and fastest growing segment of the PV industry, but covers material critical to understanding all types of PV systems. These core concepts are expanded on in SEI’s upper level PV courses, which focus more specifically on particular system types, applications and design methodologies.
About SEI’s PV203 Course:
In PV203 the focus is on the fundamentals of battery-based PV systems. The applications and configurations are many, and their complexity far exceeds that of grid-direct PV systems. Components such as batteries, charge controllers, and battery-based inverters are covered in detail, along with safety and maintenance considerations unique to battery-based systems. Load analysis is critical to system design and will also be addressed along with other design criteria such as battery bank configuration and the electrical integration of the system.
