Anyone involved in utility and community solar, as well as microgrid will find significant value in this course.
I do work on inspecting utility scale solar pv plants and this course has given me confidence on how best to communicate with site management regarding drawings and docs, making sure we'll be on the same page.
Very emotional and educational at the same time!! ... I was also surprised that a couple of examples of situations that the instructor mentioned during the training are things that actually happened to some of my workers in the past, so you can confirm that these are all real life experiences !!
I am just getting into the field of electricity I know just about enough to make myself dangerous. But after this very informative lesson I know that I was dangerous . After this it is making me think twice about the dangers involved with this line of work and how important PPE is to the job and how much I will be pushing the contractors to make sure they are training there people and using the right PPE.
This is a very engaging and valuable training for anyone working on or near live equipment. The course gives good context for the NFPA 70E Code and how to find the necessary information to work safely.
As a safety professional I have been bullied around by management or senior employees that said they knew electrical but were not following the standards and I went along with them as my knowledge was limited. Now, I will be more proactive, directing training and educating management and others that want to do "what they think is right" or "what they have always done" as I have been empowered by this content and personal testimony to speak to the 70E consensus standard.
As a manager of design in a solar engineering group, I work on a team of engineers and drafters. We struggle with presenting unified work in both content and style. Knowing what contractors and AHJs expect to see is a very useful aid for us, and it was disclosed very well in this course.
Learned a lot
