Common chemistries, including lead acid, lithium ion, and nickel iron, each have different installation, maintenance, storage, and transportation requirements that can lead to fatal consequences if not conducted properly. This 8-hr online course, produced under an OSHA Susan Harwood Training Grant, provides training on the hazards associated with each energy storage technology and the control measures to eliminate or mitigate those hazards. This training includes five lessons for a total of 4 contact training hours. Lessons includes presentations, field videos, interactive exercises, and quizzes. Lesson content includes Lesson 1: Introduction to the Course and OSHA requirements Lesson 2: Energy Storage Technologies- Energy storage basics, lead-acid energy storage systems, lithium-ion energy storage, other types of electrochemical energy storage systems Lesson 3: Energy Storage Safety Regulations- OSHA safety regulations, NFPA 70 (the National Electrical Code) and NFPA 70E (Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace) NFPA 855 (Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems), the International Residential Code (IRC) and the International Fire Code (IFC) Lesson 4: Electrical Hazards- Electrical shock hazards, electrical arc flash hazards, electrical PPE, electrical connection hazards Lesson 5: Other Hazards- Chemical hazards, fire hazards, gas hazards, physical hazards, storage and transportation hazards, temperature effects on batteries, working space and clean installations

After completing this course, participants will be able to: Contrast the difference between types of Electric Vehicles (EV) including Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV), Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) and Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV). Describe the various commercial and industrial EV in the marketplace and their charging equipment requirements. Demonstrate awareness of the various terminologies used throughout the EV industry to describe equipment supplying energy to charge EV. Describe the difference between AC Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), DC charging equipment, and wireless EV charging. Explain the benefits of conducting a site assessment and what should be considered when installing Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment (EVCE). Demonstrate an awareness of specific utility and municipal requirements for the installation of EVCE.

This short course is targeted towards beginning users, and will show you in detail how to get started creating accurate production estimates for any size PV system, from residential to large-scale. Learn how to find and import the correct meteorological data, create system variants for any size system, and accurately define the orientation, shading scene, and detailed system losses. By the end of this course you will be confidently simulating production and printing reports to share.

In this class, we'll review basic PV system types that use battery storage, the various use cases, and we'll take an in-depth look at what metrics are used to compare technologies. We'll discuss features of the most common battery chemistries currently used with PV systems and compare them. We'll look at how battery chemistry impacts battery bank sizing by reviewing a couple of design examples. Finally, we'll use a design example as the basis for a cost comparison of different battery technologies looking at both upfront and life cycle costs.

Thermal inspections of PV arrays specifically can safely provide fast and accurate information regarding system health. We will present the fundamental theories and considerations for proper thermal camera use including the various applications in solar operations and maintenance (O&M) and how to read test images. We will also review several IR cameras that are commercially available and commonly used in PV inspections. Drones are another tool whose use in PV installation and inspection has increased in recent years. We will discuss the fundamentals of drones and discuss considerations when selecting a drone for commercial use. Drones can be used in a variety of applications: to obtain site information pre-sale; site or system mapping; during and after installation to determine progress; and finally to perform aerial thermographic inspections. Examples of the latter will be looked at and assessed in this course. We will introduce licensure requirements as well as common models of drones - and price points - that are commercially available which can be used in PV applications.

Modeling is a complicated topic - and performance calculation tools offer nearly endless “knobs” to turn, any of which can impact the projected production. A fundamental understanding of what goes on “behind the scenes” is important to be able to make the right decisions when selecting data, adjusting system assumptions and de-rates, and comparing results so you can be confident when you make a production prediction or design choice. Don't worry, the heavy math is left to the modeling tool! Topics include: Examining and applying the core calculations used to predict production of PV arrays Comparing the various modeling programs on the market, and their different approaches Interpreting simulation results from performance models Relating how system design choices impact the production of the array Join Paul Grana, co-founder of Folsom Labs and the HelioScope modeling and design tool, for an in-depth look at PV system performance modeling in four Parts: Introduction and System Design Environment Assumptions and Irradiance Calculations Module Modeling and System Behavior Simulation Results and Model Comparison
