ERS 102 - Photovoltaic Theory & Design

Institution:

Navajo Technical College

Subject:

Description:

An overview covers photovoltaic modules, mounting, controllers, batteries, inverters, load calculations, and water pumping. Solar site analysis will include azimuth angle, tilt angle, magnetic declination, and orientation. Students will learn how to design systems that complement module and energy storage. Understanding safe installations, which includes tool and equipment safety, conductor size, over-current protection, grounding, and NEC requirements will be stressed. Students will install photovoltaic systems and hardware. This course will enable student to interpret schematics to assess learning and to utilize the solar trailer and PV trainer donated to the school by Sandia National Laboratories.
