About this course
PV is on the cover of the NEC and there are new articles affecting the industry, such as 691 Large-Scale PV Electric Supply Stations, 706 Energy Storage Systems, 710 Stand-Alone Systems, 712 DC Micro-Grid Systems.
There are many changes in the 2017 NEC. Everything that you thought you knew about grounding has functionally changed. 1500V systems, voltage and current definitions, labeling, be prepared!
In order to complete this course, you'll need to purchase a copy of PV and the NEC by Sean White and Bill Brooks.
This course includes many references to the National Electrical Code (NEC). It may be helpful for you to get a copy of the 2017 NEC.
NABCEP has also now adopted the code and NEC 2017 is now in use on the NABCEP PV Installation Professional Certification Exam. This course is now completely updated with videos and materials needed to prepare for the NABCEP exam covering the 2017 NEC.
NABCEP has kept pushing back the adoption of the 2020 or 2023 NEC. Maybe they will skip 2020. When there is an announcement, we will let you know.
