Training eventsPhotovoltaic Design & Installation Participants in Solar Energy International's PV Design & Installation workshop learn how to use PV (photovoltaic) technology to produce their own electricity from the sun through practical design and installation of PV systems. Participants learn system sizing, site analysis, hardware specification and component selection. The workshop covers typical applications and case study examples. Past training events (archives)SEI PV Design and Installation Course These outdoor schools are great, as is the training program from Solar Energy International (www.solarenergy.org). We've combined the two to offer you a great experience. You'll install a working grid tie solar electric system during the course, leaving an excellent teaching tool for the thousands of students that visit the school each year. More information » SEI PV Design Online Learn how to design a complete solar electric (photovoltaic) power system without leaving your home. A six-week, Internet-based, online course of instruction with text, CD-ROM reference materials and Internet resource links. (This course provides 60 cumulative hours of training, that may be used towards NABCEP certification purposes.) Registration info » WORKSHOP: PV Systems and the National Electric Code (NEC) This timely workshop is designed for building inspectors, plan checkers, fire officials, PV installers, designers, engineers, and architects who wish to stay on top of the latest code compliance issues to help facilitate safe and long-lasting PV systems. Participants will be provided with an intensive overview of small-scale solar electrical generation and the National Electrical Code (NEC) regulations for installation and safe operation of PV systems. Course instructor John Wiles is a Program Manager at the Southwest Technology Development Institute at New Mexico State University. He assists the PV industry, electrical contractors, electrical inspectors, and purchasing agencies in understanding the PV requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC). John serves as Secretary for an NFPA-appointed Task Group involved with Article 690 of the NEC. He drafted the text for Article 690 in the 2002 and 2005 NEC Handbook. His fieldwork involves balance of systems design for PV systems, acceptance testing of PV systems, test and evaluation of PV components, and the design and installation of data acquisition systems. Wiles also writes a regular column, "Code Corner" for HomePower Magazine. SEI Photovoltaic Design & Installation Participants in the PV Design & Installation workshop learn how to use PV (photovoltaic) technology to produce their own electricity from the sun through practical design and installation of PV systems. (This workshop is certified by the Institute of Sustainable Power and fulfills one of the requirements for national photovoltaic certification.) More info » Pacific Energy Center
