Course Description

This course is intended to provide engineers, designers, or contractors with the knowledge and process for inspecting or evaluating a solar power system in a small structure.We will also look the problems commonly associated with solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, brief reviews of the system components and their potential problems, and wiring issues. We will also note those items that you need to perform the inspection.

The course will start “at the beginning” ... from the solar panels to the electrical outlets and the components installed along the way. This course is not intended to be all-inclusive in the evaluation and trouble-shooting of a solar PV electrical system but is intended to provide you with knowledge of how to evaluate a system and the typical problems associated with a solar powered system. Obviously, these same principles apply to a system for a larger structure but there is much more involved with larger power systems. Note, that this is not the design course. The design course is entitled “Solar Design for Small Structures” and is also available from SunCam.

This course is good for someone with a mechanical background who writes test procedures for PV systems (i.e. commissioning). It gave me a good overview of the typical system components and how they fail. More material on grid-connected systems without batteries would be appreciated.

Good comprehensive coverage of the elements of solar power systems and what is needed to evaluate design, installation, operation and identification of malfunctioning components.

Good practical and locical course. Very hands on and real. Certainly applicable to larger systems but a great place to start.
