About this course

The 2026 National Electrical Code (NEC) was released in September 2025, with states rolling out adoption on their own schedules. In this class, Sean White and Bill Brooks break down what's new in the code - making a massive technical manual digestible and fun. You'll get deep dives into the 2026 updates, clear interpretation of the changes, and comparisons with previous editions so you know exactly what shifted and why it matters.

This bundle includes 2 courses - one focused primarily on PV and the other on Energy Storage Systems (ESS). 

Having the 2026 NEC will be useful for this course. You can access it digitally for free directly from the NFPA.
