Will you be attending the NABCEP CE Conference between March 27-30th, 2023? Many of our students and alumni will be there, and we highly recommend getting connected with NABCEP if you are serious about a career in solar energy! This is one of the MUST ATTEND conferences for solar professionals in the industry. In addition, don’t miss the certified training opportunities that we will be providing on March 30th. Training includes:
PV System Operations and Maintenance (O&M)
As the solar PV industry grows and existing systems continue to age, the operations and maintenance (O&M) of PV systems has become a field unto itself. This course is for the field technician who will perform O&M duties, and for those in operations or asset management who want to know the nitty gritty details of keeping a PV system at peak performance. You will become familiar with a range of O&M tasks, including inspections and preventive maintenance, performance analysis, and troubleshooting. We will discuss advanced analytical tools, meters, and techniques – such as insulation resistance testers, I-V curve tracers, and infrared cameras. The course covers all sizes of grid-direct PV systems including residential, commercial, and large-scale systems, but will not cover battery maintenance or medium voltage-specific O&M tasks.
Megawatt-Scale PV: Design Considerations and Case Study Discussion
This advanced course provides an in-depth look into the design process and considerations for grid-connected megawatt-scale PV systems, with a focus on ground-mounted systems. The instructors will discuss the design process from pre-project planning to best practices in design, equipment selection, and grid interconnection. The course also includes a project design case study which will be used to highlight and discuss design considerations and choices in detail, applied to an example system design. This course will be taught by instructors with real project experience in developing, designing, installing, and commissioning megawatt-scale PV systems, so come take advantage!
