Advanced Solar PV System Design, Installation, and Maintenance

Participants will be able to:

Undertake detailed system sizing (module, inverter, battery, conductor) using actual load and site data.

Interpret electrical codes (CEC/NEC) and apply standards in PV design.

Design layouts for roof/ground/pole mounting, including documentation.

Execute installation and commissioning for grid-tied and off-grid PV systems.

Diagnose and troubleshoot electrical/mechanical faults for long-term PV performance.

Model PV performance, incorporating system losses and de-rating, using tools/software.

Apply advanced safety, permitting, and interconnection procedures in real projects.

Prepare for professional certifications (NABCEP, advanced installer credentials).
