Learn to design real solar, storage, EV charging, and microgrid projects — PV systems, battery energy storage, grid interconnection, NEC 690/705 compliance, and financial analysis.
21 modules and 6 complete real-project design packages, with worked calculations, field documentation, and a certificate of completion.
The renewable energy landscape, the project lifecycle, and a roadmap of this program.
PV cell/module physics, system topologies, array configuration, and performance factors.
Battery chemistry, BESS architecture, capacity/power ratings, and use cases.
Turbine fundamentals, the power curve, resource assessment, and siting.
Charging levels, connector standards, service sizing, and load management.
Microgrid architecture, islanding vs. grid-connected modes, and common applications.
Interconnection requirements, anti-islanding, and the utility application process.
Rapid shutdown, disconnects, grounding, and the 120% busbar rule.
Roof/ground-mount layout, setbacks, racking selection, and inter-row shading.
String voltage/current calculation, temperature effects, and inverter matching.
String vs. micro vs. optimizer tradeoffs, sizing, and grid-support functionality.
Production estimation, derate factors, and performance ratio.
Payback, LCOE, NPV/IRR, incentives, and financing models.
Net metering, interconnection agreements, and utility rate structures.
Mechanical and electrical installation practices, and field safety.
Test sequences, acceptance criteria, and commissioning documentation.
Real diagnostic scenarios covering common PV, storage, and EV-charging problems.
Rooftop PV system design with a full string-sizing and rapid-shutdown compliance calc.
Commercial rooftop PV with a supply-side interconnection and financial analysis.
Commercial BESS sized for demand-charge management with a real savings calculation.
Workplace EV charging with a load calc solved via EV energy management.
Critical-facility microgrid sized for a target autonomy duration.
Utility-scale ground-mount solar farm design overview at MW scale.
12 real project templates — a site assessment checklist, string sizing calculation worksheet, one-line diagram checklist, NEC 690/705 compliance checklist, interconnection application checklist, commissioning test report, change order and punch list templates, an as-built documentation checklist, an O&M log template, a production monitoring baseline sheet, and a financial analysis summary sheet. Available for download from Module 20 (Documentation & Resource Kit) once you've unlocked the program.
Coming later: sample interconnection application files and video demonstrations. Not included in this release.
