2.00 Credits
This course covers the use of hand and power tools used to assemble community solar garden systems. Students are exposed to many different types of mounting systems and fastening technologies. Industry expectations are discussed and common safety concerns are reinforced.
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces students to basics of solar energy and solar site assessment for solar photovoltaic and thermal systems. Students will measure the solar window with a Solar Pathfinder(TM) and estimate the effects of climate, system design, and vegetation growth (and removal) on energy production. Using industry-standard hardware, mounting options and equipment, students will propose system designs, model economic and environmental costs and benefits, and report their findings.

2.00 Credits
This course first provides training in all legal requirements and regulations required to obtain a commercial drone operator's license. Early in the course, the students take the drone pilot exam at an appropriate testing site. Passing the exam will make them compliant with the new FAA Part 107 regulations. The course then covers drone software related to topographic mapping, converting video into 3-D models, aerial videography, infrared mapping, and others as they come into existence. Many solar operations will be done in this course using a drone: shading analysis, 3-D design, infrared analysis, product delivery, moving items from ground to rooftops, and others as they begin to appear in industry. Recommendation: The student should possess ability to understand, speak, and read English at a level that allows for good communication with the instructor.
-
2.00 Credits
This course introduces students to basic construction skills and mounting methods used in solar air, water, and electric systems. Topics include how to safely and carefully work with roofing, how to plan and assemble racking, how solar modules and panels are mounted, and how the remaining solar components are incorporated. Recommendation: ECAD 1020.

1.00 - 3.00 Credits
This course is designed to provide students with the opportunity to apply knowledge and skills learned in the Solar Energy Program outside the classroom. Students will install photovoltaic (PV) systems with a company or as part of a Century College project. This internship is designed for 1 to 3 credits, with an out-of-class commitment of 45 hours per credit. Students will create a professional presentation describing their internship to Century students and will gain other job-seeking skills. Prerequisite(s): SOLR 1020, SOLR 2020, and SOLR 2025 and instructor consent.
