UL University Photovoltaic (PV) Workshops

Photovoltaics: Overview of UL 1703 and IEC 61730
This comprehensive three-day workshop provides an overview of the compliance requirements related to UL 1703, the Standard for Safety of Flat-Plate Photovoltaic Modules and Panels and IEC 61730. Participants will be able to identify the fundamental differences between the two standards and how it relates to the construction of PV modules and panels.

The National Electrical Code for Photovoltaics
This one-day workshop will provide you with knowledge on the 2005/2008 National Electrical Code (NEC) for designing and installing photovoltaic (PV) systems. A basic knowledge of the NEC is required since Code basics will not be addressed. The knowledge gained will allow a person familiar with the Code basics to effectively design, install or inspect PV systems for Code compliance.

Plastics: Specifying and Evaluating Materials for Use in Photovoltaic Module Applications
The purpose of this two-day workshop is to increase your awareness of the safety issues involved with selecting plastic materials for use in electronic and electrical products. The knowledge you gain from this workshop will help you make better, more informed decisions regarding the selection of plastics, and help you move from the design stage to production as quickly as possible.

Solar PV Installer (PV 1)
This comprehensive two-day course teaches the practical fundamentals of installing and maintaining "grid-tied systems." Certification in these highly marketable and desirable skills is all that a student needs to be quickly integrated into a working solar PV install crew.

Solar PV Designer (PV 2)
This comprehensive two-day course is designed to give graduates a comprehensive knowledge of sizing and designing solar PV systems for every homeowner's needs. Learn how to design by exploring the most common design examples and learn to operate tools of the trade. This course provides a more in-depth treatment of solar photovoltaic design topics and is intended for those with a background in solar PV installation and/or those who have already completed PV 1.

Solar PV Sales and Estimator (PV 3)
This comprehensive two-day course is designed to give graduates a comprehensive knowledge of how to create a cost estimate for a solar system—from the first principles to the final "bill of materials." Leave the class with knowledge of cutting edge sales software and information to start acquiring material for your solar business.
