earth, the final frontier

Clean Energy, Clean Environment

We are at a cross roads in human history, we can choose to continue on as we have been, or we can make a change to improve our future and quite possibly the future for several generations to come. We are here to promote energy independence, a better environment, a secure future and a higher return on investment for your hard earned dollar. It is what I believe in, it is why I am in the solar business.

PV Training

19 Sep 09 | Training

Training and proficiency is the key to installing safe, workable systems, especially where voltages of 500 VDC and greater are concerned.  Every three years the NFPA issues a new version of the National Electrical Code with updates.  These updates are based findings and recommendations from the field.  In other words, somewhere, something went wrong and caused a problem.  The incident was investigated and the NFPA incorporated fixes in the latest issue of the electrical code.  That is why it is particularly important to follow the code.

To that end, there are several advanced PV training courses available from providers like SEI, local community colleges, etc.  In order for a installer to maintain proficiency and keep abreast of changes,  reviewing the code changes as they occur is important.  Taking refresher or advanced courses is a good way to accomplish this goal as well.

In addition to this, NABCEP certification requirements have a minimum formal course requirements.

Solar energy, especially photovoltaics, is an evolving field.  The industry knows a lot more about safe solar installations than even a few years ago.  In order to maintain top notch installations, continued education is a must
