The course objective is to prepare students for the completion of the Photovoltaics Advanced Bundle. This bundle is a combination of the following courses Photovoltaics 1 and Photovoltaics 2. Photovoltaics 1 covers all aspects of PV system installations, with an emphasis on requirements of the National Electrical Code. Additional topics include principles of solar radiation, site surveys and planning, components and systems, electrical and mechanical integration, permitting utility interconnection, and operations and maintenance. Photovoltaics 2 explains in detail how the system operates and the maintenance needed in order for the system to operate properly. Students will also learn more about the batteries and charge controllers used in photovoltaic systems and will determine what size system is needed to be installed for the size of the job being completed.
