This four day course is geared to sizing systems for both grid-tie and off-grid PV systems. Successful completion of the course prepares participants to take the NABCEP PV Systems Entry Level Exam. Class objectives include learning basic theory, operation, characteristics and parameters of solar cells; how to site, design, and install photovoltaic (PV) systems; solar resource, shading considerations, orientation and tilt for PV arrays; basic grid-tie and off-grid sizing and design of systems to power a given load, safety practices for installers and electrical code for PV systems. Serveral hands-on activities are scheduled to reinforce the concepts learned in class, including the use of solar irradiance meter, solar path finder, etc., that will be capped by the installation of a full size PV demonstration system.

In early 2008, energy prices rose to unprecedented levels. Carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere have raised steadily, most notable over the past century. Solar thermal systems will address both issues and allow students to take advantage of lucrative federal and state tax credits. Today's solar systems are reliable and efficient but must be customized for each client's unique hot water system design. Solar thermal system design and installation capability can be a profitable addition to your list of services. Day 1 is geared to include the homeowner and covers northeast solar resources, client British Thermal Unit (BTU) need determination and solar loop design options.
