PV 701.01 Photovoltaic Technology Instructor Institute
This five-day photovoltaic technology intensive institute is designed for instructors looking to gain experience with utility interactive and battery-based solar electric systems. Participants will advance through lecture, site assessment, hands-on installation, and design work that covers the MREA course content for PV 101, PV 201, PV 205, and PV 301.Course Instructors:TBDPre-requisites:Participants must be affiliated with an active solar training program in the Midwest.
PVO 101.02 Basic Photovoltaics Online Training
This six-week online course uses a series of online presentations, webinars, topic resources, assignments, and quizzes to teach the basics of solar electric systems. Participants will learn how photovoltaic (PV) systems work, diagram the four PV system types, describe and identify components, understand the best application and limitations of each system type, define the solar window, make energy efficiency recommendations, estimate system loads, and understand the basics of PV site assessment.
PV 201.04 PV Site Assessor Training
Participants in this one-day course will learn how to perform a PV site assessment for a home or small business. The course will cover site assessment tools, load analysis, energy efficiency recommendations, array placement options, basic system sizing, cost estimates, and evaluating existing infrastructure on site. Participants will learn how to access online tools for solar resource analysis, PV system performance calculators, and incentives.To receive the MREA PV Site Assessor Certificate, participants will need to complete this course, two practice site assessments, pass the written test, and pay a $50 exam fee.
PV 210.01 Firefighter Safety And Renewable Energy Sytems
In the past, only firefighters in remote or rural areas ever expected to see renewable energy systems during emergency responses. Today, the proliferation of utility interactive photovoltaic systems in urban, suburban, and interface areas means that all firefighters and their commanders will encounter these systems eventually.Participants in this course will learn suggested response guidelines for firefighter safety with renewable energy systems, National Electrical Code implications for both PV installers and firefighters, and discuss scenarios to increase awareness of procedures critical to safety.
ST 105.01 Solar Air Heat Introduction
In this one-day course, participants will learn the basics of solar air heating. Participants will learn how solar air panels work, describe and identify components, define the solar window, and estimate system production.
