Advanced PV Design (PVOL.201)
The Advanced PV Design course is the continuation of the PV Design . It focuses on the National Electric
Code (NEC), including grid interface calculations, grounding considerations and wire sizing, economic
analysis.
This course 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 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 then 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.
Topic included:
Course Material:
Student will receive a copy of SEI's photovoltaic Design and Installation Manual and the NJTAC Photovoltaic
Systems.
