Description:
The National Electrical Code® drives industry-wide best practices as well as product development cycles of manufacturers, so whether you’re an installer, designer, manufacturer, engineer, developer, or building official, it’s critical to stay on top of the game. This course walks through the 2020 NEC® focusing on Chapters 6 and Chapter 7, and including relevant parts of Chapters 1 through 4. The focus is on critical updates, changes, and relevant details that impact PV system design and installation, for applications ranging from battery-based off-grid and all types of energy storage systems, to interactive PV systems of all sizes up to utility-scale solar farms.
