FAQ

From May 14th to June 25th, 2025, all New York City residents ages 11 and older, regardless of immigration status, can vote on how to spend $4M of the city budget to address their community needs!

“Participatory Budgeting is a powerful, non-partisan tool that puts real decision-making in the hands of New Yorkers—regardless of age, background, or political affiliation. By welcoming youth as young as 11 into the democratic process, we are fostering the next generation of civic leaders and proving that everyone’s voice matters in shaping our communities.” Holly Bonner,  Commissioner, NYC Civic Engagement Commission

In an effort to build trust between communities and city government, this year’s vote campaign – You Pick, We Pay – aims to show residents that their voices aren’t just heard, but prioritized through real financial investment. It’s the city’s way of saying: we’re listening, and we’ve got your back.

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.
