| Course Outline & Objectives: | Based on the 2020 National Electrical Code (NEC), this 16-hour course will cover the design, installation, and maintenance requirements of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. With the rapid growth of solar installations occurring throughout Utah, the United States, and throughout the world, understanding the theory, code, and practical applications of this technology will help prevent costly mistakes and increase the safety of these types of systems. This course is designed to help contractors, electricians, engineers, and inspectors better understand how utility-interactive and stand-alone solar PV system operate.
This course will consist of a live seminar and attendee participation covering the following:
11 Hours (2020 NEC) ? General, circuit requirements, disconnecting means, wiring methods & materials, grounding & bonding, marking, energy storage systems, large-scale PV electric supply stations, and interconnected electric power production sources.
4 Hours (2018 NFPA 70E) ? Safety-related work practices, safety-related maintenance requirements, and safety requirements for special equipment.
1 Hour (2018 IECC) ? Scope & administration, definitions, general requirements, energy efficiency, existing buildings, and solar-ready zone & provisions. |
