NEC Training for Photovoltaic Applications

 

Preparation for Standardized Testing for Photovoltaic Practitioners

New Energy Options can provide test preparation seminars for sponsoring agencies that prepare PV practitioners for standardized certification testing.NEO's approach is similar to that of most test preparation tutorial services.

 

We focus on

 

► Test-taking strategies and skills

► Basic math and problem solving skills and approaches

► Understanding the testing agencies format and interpretations

► Repeated in-class testing, correcting, and analysis.

 

New Energy Options seminars are aimed at qualified industry practitioners who have attained a high level of proficiency in their profession, but who desire added preparation for written exams.Our primary pedagogical approach is to "teach to the test."

 


NEC Presentations for Inspectors & PV Industry Professionals

New Energy Options provides training to wiring inspectors and industry professionals on the specific application of the National Electrical Code to photovoltaic technology.James Bing has been a student of the Code for over twenty five years through formal training and daily practice, first as a licensed journeyman electrician and presently as a registered professional electrical engineer working primarily in photovoltaic system design.He is thoroughly qualified to explain the unique place that PV has as customer-sited electrical generation in the existing electro technology environment, and the resultant implications and evolution of article 690 in the NEC.

 

 

Photovoltaic Workforce Training Research

New Energy Options can provide expert consultation in the area of licensure, certification and training policy for state agencies considering credential requirements for photovoltaic subsidy programs.New Energy Options has co-authored a comprehensive workforce study entitled, "Needs Assessment for Training and Certification Requirements Within the Photovoltaic Industry," for the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative. NEO can provide the necessary overview of all stakeholders: installers, utilities, Code officials, state boards of licensure, product manufacturers and nationally recognized testing laboratories.
