COURSE DESCRIPTION
This solar system design course provides the knowledge-based skills that are used in the pre-installation phase. It’s important to align a solar PV system’s design with the customer’s needs from the start. Depending on whether your client wants to lower his/her energy bills, help the planet, or simply have backup power, these considerations may impact how you arrange the system components. In addition, you’ll need to factor in budget and location surface area into your system sizing. Solar system design is largely about coordinating with a client, local code officials, and other stakeholders in the solar installation process. Learn the key behaviors that will ensure your success as a solar system designer!
