Solar Electric Design and Installation (Grid-Direct)
Paonia, CO, CO  June 04-08, 2012
Providing an overview of the three basic PV system applications, primarily focusing on grid-direct systems. The goal of the course is to create a fundamental understanding of the core concepts necessary to work with all PV systems, including:  system components, site analysis, PV module criteria, mounting solutions, safety, and commissioning. The course will also cover the basics of sizing a residential grid-direct system, wire sizing, overcurrent protection, and grounding.
Prerequisites: Before participating in the PV101 in-person workshop, students are required to complete the self-paced PV 101 PREP online component.
PV 101: 5 Day Workshop with Lab Kits
NABCEP Training hours:  PV101 PREP + 5 Day Workshop = 50 credit hours
Students receive an introductory level hands-on experience through the opportunity to work on lab kits. Students will wire a grid-direct system, including the inverter, disconnects, racking, and grounding, using commercially available components and small 20-watt modules. Course is co-taught by two instructors.
Some LEARNING OBJECTIVES of the PV 101 workshop include:
•  Differentiate between various renewable energy sources and types of systems
•  Perform power and energy calculations
•  Evaluate utility bills and rate plans, perform a load analysis for a grid-direct system, and compare system production to energy consumption
•  Describe energy efficiency measures that can be implemented to reduce electricity usage and PV system size
•  Analyze different net metering rules, rebates, and incentives that affect the final cost of a PV system
•  Diagram and list the features, applications, and components of the following PV system types:  DC direct, stand-alone, grid-direct, and grid-tied with battery back-up
•  Obtain and apply specifications for PV modules and determine their performance given various environmental and operating conditions
•  Identify various types of digital multimeters and explain how to use them safely
•  Diagram and determine the power, current, and voltage characteristics of PV modules in different series and parallel configurations
•  Determine the magnetic declination, define azimuth and altitude angle and evaluate the shade potential for a given site
•  Estimate energy production of a PV system based on location specifics including orientation and tilt angle
•  List the pros and cons of different mounting systems (ground, pole, roof, and trackers) and determine the number of modules that can fit in a given roof space
•  Given specific site criteria, evaluate what type of inverter is appropriate
•  Decipher balance-of-system equipment specification sheets to determine the critical information needed for system design
•  Design a residential grid-direct system including the array, inverter, circuit conductors, and overcurrent protection
•  Define equipment grounding, system grounding, and components and conductors used for grounding
•  Identify the following wires and components on schematics of residential grid-direct systems: disconnects, inverter, equipment grounding conductors, ungrounded conductors, grounded conductors, the grounding electrode(s), and the AC and DC system grounds
•  Identify potential safety hazards and the proper personal protective equipment for working on grid-direct PV systems
•  List the order of installation, commissioning, and decommissioning of a grid-direct PV system
Entry Level Exam:  After successfully completing this course you are eligible to sit for the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) Entry Level Exam.
