Course Description: This day-long lab is held at NCCETC’s Solar Yard in Raleigh, NC and is for those who have taken the 40-hour FSPV online course or simply wish to gain more hands-on experience. This hands-on day begins with an overview of safety, system components, system design, and solar fundamentals. During the course of the lab, participants will be filling out “balance-of-system” worksheets to ensure comprehension of sound PV system design practices. Participants will also install a live, grid-tied PV system, from mounting the modules, to wiring the inverter, and finally, to commissioning the system.

Prerequisites: Completion of NCCETC’s FSPV course or a comparable fundamentals course or working knowledge of solar PV (i.e. currently working in the solar industry) is highly recommended before registering for this course.

Course Cost: $299

Payment plans are available. Registration fee includes lunch.
