PVOL203: SOLAR TRAINING – PV SYSTEM FUNDAMENTALS (BATTERY-BASED) – ONLINE

• 
• CONTACT HOURS: 40 Hrs

PV systems with energy storage are a rapidly growing segment of the industry. This course builds a foundation for understanding many battery-based applications, in which the complexity far exceeds that of a grid­-direct PV system. Load analysis is addressed along with other critical design criteria such as battery bank design, equipment options, and electrical integration of system components. Component options are covered in detail, including batteries, charge controllers, and battery­-based inverters. Different battery chemistries, associated pros and cons, and cost comparisons are investigated along with safety and maintenance considerations unique to battery­-based PV systems. 

PREREQUISITE COURSE: Before participating in the PVOL203 course, students MUST complete PV101.
