PVOL101: SOLAR TRAINING – SOLAR ELECTRIC DESIGN AND INSTALLATION (GRID-DIRECT) – ONLINE

  • CONTACT HOURS: 10-20 hrs/week

PVOL101 is your gateway to a career in the solar industry.  It all starts with the fundamentals, and a solid understanding of various components, system architectures, and applications for PV systems.  Other topics include site analysis, system sizing, array configuration, and performance estimation; electrical design characteristics such as wiring, overcurrent protection, and grounding; a detailed look at module and inverter specifications and characteristics; mounting methods for various roof structures and ground-mounts; and an introduction to safely and effectively commissioning grid-direct PV systems.  This course focuses on grid-direct PV systems, but covers material critical to understanding all types of PV systems.  

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.

    Thanks to funding from Green/Arts Live we had a wonderful event at Linden Park on Saturday, August 14th with the Reggie Woods Band. We had an audience of 75 seated in the bleachers, plus an additional 200 people sitting around the park under the trees as well as the people exercising.  

    Assemblyman Charles Barron attended; Community Board 5 District Manager Melinda Perkins was the MC; a coalition of parks support groups came out as well as a youth leadership group which helps to keep this park clean.

    A wonderful opportunity to hear world-class music in our community.

    Black communities in the U.S. are often undercounted by the U.S. Census thus leading to fewer funds, services, and political representation. The 2020 Census is particularly designed to undercount and underfund Black communities. Turn out and learn how you can help ensure Black people are fairly counted in 2020, including by filling paid canvasser positions.

    Please print out and post up in your neighborhood, email and post this flyer to your social media accounts to spread the word. Black people count! Call East NY Restoration LDC at (718 676-5920 with any questions.
