ImagineSolar operates a world-class Regional Solar Field Lab inside the The Austin Electric JATC. Training takes place indoors, outdoors, ground-level and on the top of the 4000 sqft training facility. Photovoltaic module technologies include crystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, and copper indium gallium di-selenide ranging in size from 60W to 235W. Inverters include grid-tied, off-grid, bi-modal hybrid, microinverter and bi-polar.
“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.”
“I was new to the industry, so I enrolled in their introductory courses; what they call their Foundations series (PV for photovoltaic). By the end of the [One Day Lab] class we (the students) were installing modules in an array on a mock up roof, hooking everything up to combiner boxes, cut-offs and inverters, and then we pridefully watched the meter spin backwards. Keep in mind, I did’t know the difference between a volt, amp, or watt before this class. These guys are professional, down to earth and just flat out knowledgable. What’s more, they are passionate about what they are doing. Even if you’re just interested in learning the basics, like me, I recommend these guys in a heart beat.”
“The hands-on training was a critical addition to their online course. The experience of the instructors was impressive. The labs were enjoyable and informative.”
“I chose the ImagineSolar online course because of the availability of their solar field lab training. Their labs were spot-on!”
