SOLR 120 - Solar Design and Installation/ SOLR 121 - Grid Tied Solar Design

SOLR 120 - Presents competencies and expected outcomes for photovoltaic (PV) design and installation. Participants will learn the fundamentals of sizing a residential battery-less grid-tied system, wire sizing, over-current protection, and grounding. This course will also review fundamental design criteria for off-grid stand-alone systems including specifying batteries, controllers, and battery-based inverters. The student will develop a basic understanding of the core concepts necessary to work with both residential and commercial PV systems. Prerequisite(s): None.

SOLR 121 - Presents competencies and expected outcomes for advanced photovoltaic (PV) design and grid tied installations. Participants apply the standards presented in the National Electric Code (NEC) as they perform grid interface calculations, ground considerations and wire sizing. Students will evaluate a photovoltaic system under various operating systems. Participants will also evaluate batteries and their sizing, charge controllers, and hybrid systems. Prerequisite(s): SOLR 120.
