PVOL350: PV Systems - Tools & Techniques for O&M Online
The course focuses on grid-direct PV system operations and maintenance (O&M), with an emphasis on tools and techniques used to perform O&M tasks, how to perform tests safely and properly, and how to interpret the results. Steps for on-site testing and performance verification will be covered, along with tools and procedures for troubleshooting – including insulation resistance testers, I-V curve tracers, thermal imaging cameras, and more.
The goal is to provide technicians and asset managers with the knowledge to safely keep PV systems properly maintained and producing power for years to come. Welcome to PVOL350!

CE541: Megawatt Scale Design
This advanced course provides an in-depth look into the design process and considerations for grid-connected megawatt-scale PV systems, with an emphasis on ground-mounted systems. The course will discuss the design process from pre-project planning to best practices in equipment selection, installation, quality control, and design strategies specific to large-scale PV systems. The course will use a project case study to highlight design considerations and choices for a ground-mounted single-axis tracker system. Topics include pre-project planning and site analysis, system design and optimization, layout and racking choices, inverter and transformer selection, an introduction to medium voltage equipment and AC utility interconnection. This course is based on 2023 NEC requirements for large-scale PV systems, and addresses Article 691 applications.
