PV System Design (PVOL.200)
The PV Design class is optimized for architects, engineers, licensed or journeyman electricians, general
contractors, and other home-improvement contractors looking to add solar-electric systems to their existing
service offerings. Students should be familiar with common Windows PC operations , basic trigonometry &
algebra and working with fractions and percentages.
The participants will learn system sizing, site analysis, hardware specification and component selection.
They will also learn the costs of PV system, the importance of energy efficiency, they will be able to compare
economics of alternative PV-generator hybrid design.
The instructor supported track is a six-week, Internet-based, online course. The other track is self based.
Registered student will be issue a Student ID a Password that will allow them to access a Moodle virtual
class-room. Student will then be able to download the class material, participate to a group discussion
and upload the assignments.
Upon completion of this course the student will be able to:
Topics Include
Course Material:
Student will receive a copy of SEI's photovoltaic Design and Installation Manual and the NJTAC Photovoltaic
Systems.
