Description:
Solar Power for Electricians (16 hour course)(2014 NEC Edition)

Recommended Prerequisite for Electrician Trainees: Some experience, such as the GetWired! 101-104 series or equivalent. Other Recommendations: Though not required, the self-paced WECA course “Faultless,” which focuses on properly selecting and installing the correct electrical circuit components and conductors needed for different load and circuit configurations, is recommended as a prerequisite for Journeymen and ETs both. “Faultless” is available as a standalone course and is also included in Get Wired! 304.


In this course, you'll learn about photovoltaic systems, both residential and commercial, and their safe installation in compliance with the National Electrical Code. This course includes array configurations and electrical design characteristics for grid-tied Photovoltaic (PV) systems but also covers equipment essential to understanding all types of PV systems, including systems incorporating back-up energy and energy storage sources. This course addresses PV system installations from the perspective of the 2014 National Electrical Code (NEC), including but not limited to: interconnection requirements and calculations; disconnect requirements; overcurrent protection; and wire sizing and grounding requirements, applicable to all types and sizes of PV installations. This course can be taken as an introductory course or as a gateway for those seeking to advance their knowledge in the solar industry.

Course Lessons Include:
  • Solar Electricity Fundamentals
  • Photovoltaic Electrical Connections
  • Solar Panel Electrical Ratings
  • Types of Photovoltaic Systems
  • Solar Energy “The Electrical Code”
