Solar PV 102

In joint cooperation, Century College and the Minnesota Renewable Energy Society have developed, a new one-day introductory course for homeowners and people interested in learning the basics of how to design a solar photovoltaic (PV) system for residential applications. The essentials of creating electricity from sunlight are covered. You will learn to evaluate the solar site resource, when solar PV is the right solution, the economics and incentives for solar PV, and system design principles. System components, system sizing, PV panels, inverters, grid connected vs. non-grid connected systems and electrical connections, will be all explored.
