Grid-tie Inverters and Generators
Grid-Tied PV Systems and Generators
The question keeps coming up; “Will a generator keep the grid interactive, non-battery based PV array operating during utility power outages?” In theory, it seems like a logical idea since the generator operates at 240 volt 60 Hz and this is what the inverter is looking for in order to continue operating.
Multi-Credentialed Solar Installer-Trainer
What do you say about someone who was the first PV trainer in the U.S. to hold four credentials (IREC ISPQ Master PV and three NABCEP certifications)? An overachiever? Staying ahead of the competition? Hip to the importance of credentials to maintain integrity in the solar profession? All of the above?
Achieving any one of these credentials is an ambitious goal, but four? I wanted to know what (or who) is behind Kelly’s drive to be multi-credentialed. Here’s our conversation.
