Course Description Century College and the Minnesota Renewable Energy Society have co-developed a new one-day introductory course for homeowners and people interested in learning the basics of how to design a solar photovoltaic (PV) system for residential applications.
The essentials of creating electricity from sun light are covered. You will learn to evaluate solar site resource, when solar PV is the right solution, the economics and incentives for solar PV, and system design principles. System components, system sizing, PV panels, inverters, grid connected vs. non-grid connected systems, and electrical connections will be all explored.
Ralph Jacobson, a 25 year veteran of solar system installations, is the course instructor. He is a materials engineer and is NABCEP certified in both solar PV and solar thermal installation. Ralph is currently involved developing a strategy for growing the solar industry in Minnesota and developing training programs for the building trades. He is also on the Board of Directors of the Minnesota Renewable Energy Society and the owner of Innovative Power Systems. You will receive .72 CEUs for attending.
