Course Overview

 

Solar-electric systems have seen impressive growth in recent years and most of these systems have been grid-tie systems with no batteries. Battery-based systems have served the off-grid industry for years but have been a rather small, niche market. Today, batteries are making a comeback in solar-electric systems providing customers with backup power, load management services, and other modes of operation.

Key Topics:

  • Types of solar-electric systems 
  • Modes of operation
  • Load and site analysis
  • Battery basics
  • Charge controllers and inverters
  • System sizing

Takeaways:

  • Off-grid or on-grid?
  • How do batteries function in a grid-tie system?
  • Learn about a variety of battery types
  • Can batteries serve as a backup "generator"?
