Free Webinar: Basics of Photovoltaic (PV) and Energy Storage Systems (ESS) for Grid Tied Applications, February 13, 9am-12pm
Event Description
This course teaches the basic vocabulary and technical details of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage systems (ESS). The instructor will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of various technologies, including module efficiencies, and how to choose the right system from a project manager’s and/or owner’s perspective. Finally, this class will provide a case study on how to size and design a system solution.
The class will focus on residential-sized systems. It will cover PV systems for 75% of the class, and ESS for 25%. Please note this class is designed as an introductory class for anyone interested in understanding the basic concepts of PV project evaluation. It is not a hands-on installation class or a PV design/engineering class. It is an ideal foundation for the more advanced PV and ESS classes.
-Overview of electricity and grid fundamentals
-Photovoltaic & energy storage system technologies- advantages, disadvantages and efficiencies
-System design and sizing
