Utility Scale Solar PV System Configuration & Installation Training

Utility Scale PV System Design and Installation

PV225 Utility Scale PV System Design

12 Advanced Training Credit Hours – ONLINE & SELF-PACED – $325.00

Utility Scale Solar PV System Design & Installation Training.

This 12-hour online self-paced course includes 8 lessons. The course material follows the NABCEP PVIP JTA guidelines and the NEC for large scale PV systems over 5MW in capcaity. An interactive quiz follows each lesson for review and comprehension verification. A final exam follows completion of all lessons. A 70% score on each lesson and the final exam is required to complete the course.

Completion of Solairgen training courses will provide the individual with an expanded knowledge and understanding of the construction trade. These courses are supplemental and not primary to become a licensed professional construction contractor.

Complete the lessons at your own pace. Once enrolled you have 52 weeks to complete the lessons.

It is recommended that you complete a foundation course such as our PV201 course prior to taking this advanced level course.
