Design and Installation of Grid-Tied Solar PV Systems for Electricians - 4 hrs
Build the skills to design and install safe, code-compliant grid-tied solar PV systems.
About this course
With the rapid adoption of solar energy and recent updates to NEC 2023, the demand for skilled electricians who can navigate the new requirements has never been higher. This course directly addresses the most common and critical installation errors seen in the field, which often lead to failed inspections, safety hazards, and system underperformance.
Designed for licensed electricians, installers, and designers, this program closes the proficiency gap in applying crucial NEC 2023 updates. We'll move beyond basic theory to tackle the specific, observable failures that plague many projects: incorrect conductor sizing, improper grounding, and the misapplication of rapid shutdown devices. Through guided exercises and real-world examples, you'll gain the hands-on expertise to design and install safe, efficient, and code-compliant grid-tied PV systems that pass inspection the first time.
