Adv Photovoltaic Sys ESS — This course provides an integrative understanding of PV systems, energy storage, and microgrids with technical and economic considerations. In-depth coverage of the National Electrical Code (NEC 2017 and NEC 2020) will help those seeking deeper knowledge or work as a PV professional whether it be in design, sales, or business development. In addition to energy generation, loads will be examined particularly in the context of microgrids. Some sustainable building practices will be explored to better understand how dealing with load consumption works hand-in-hand with generation. Lessons dive into best practices for site preplanning, technology system components, system sizing, mechanical integration, electrical integration, utility connection, inspection and commissioning, operations/maintenance/troubleshooting, medium-voltage interconnection issues, and economic analysis.
