PV Site Assessment (PV 201)

PV Site Assessment (PV 201)

December 4, 2023 Courses, Online Course

Learn how to perform effective PV site assessments.

Upon completion, you’ll know how to recommend the proper PV system for residential or small commercial projects, including system size, type, location, and projected economic impact.

Course Description

(PV 201) PV Site Assessment

This eight-hour course demonstrates how to recommend a PV system size and type, estimate its annual energy production, propose a location for the array and balance of system components, and summarize the economic impact of a residential (or small commercial) project by performing a thorough site assessment of the property.  

Emphasis is placed on shade analysis and mitigation techniques, using online tools for estimating energy production and calculating payback and return on investment (ROI). Participants will learn what needs to be included in a professional, accurate, and unbiased site assessment report so potential PV system owners can make an informed decision.
