PV150: Grid-Tied PV System Installation
Price: $295.00
"I got what I wanted - a crash course in the nuts and bolts of solar energy and a good look at the state of the industry in Texas and the rest of the world. I made some good networking contacts as well." –Gordon Gunn, Austin, Texas
ImagineSolar’s 16 hour hands-on PV150 workshop on photovoltaic system installation explores system installation, commissioning, operation, troubleshooting and maintenance issues for grid-tied PV systems.
Learn about designing grid-tied PV systems in ImagineSolar’s PV160: Grid-Tied PV System Design workshop, and learn about designing and installing off-grid systems in ImagineSolar’s PV170: Off-Grid PV System Design and Installation workshop. By completing PV150, PV160 and PV170, participants will be prepared to sit for the NABCEP Entry Level Exam.
