This advanced training features troubleshooting and repair of the components in solar thermal systems, including solar space heating systems. The target audience is installers and technicians that understand installation techniques and would like to increase their comprehension of drainback and antifreeze system service procedures. A section of the class includes newer differential controls, thermistors and RTD sensors, aquastats, relays, multiple differentials and space heating components. Troubleshooting and repair related to pumps, collectors, tanks, valves and safety devices are also part of the class. This course is presented by Chuck Marken, Solar Thermal Expert and longtime SEI Instructor.

Have you read your warranty? Do you know the difference between a workpersonship and performance warranty? If you don't spend your free time reading warranty legalese, then join us for this short course where we'll look at common warranty terms and exceptions. We'll dive into details specific to PV modules, inverters, installation, and battery warranties. Some warranties have unusual terms or requirements that vary from the manufactures marketing literature. We'll review examples of several of these situations and other common but not well-known warranty clauses that may influence your equipment choices.
You may know that a solar cell loses voltage with heat, but we explain WHY (and it's not resistance). You learn about why some colors of light are absorbed by a cell and others aren't. You learn about why the STC conditions always include 'Air Mass 1.5' and why that's important. You learn that there are actually TWO currents of electrons inside a cell, flowing in opposite directions. And we finish up by explaining why shaded modules get that weird 'dolphin nose' shape and why bypass diodes are your friends. After taking this course, when asked how a solar cell works, you'll be able to go way beyond 'It's magic' - although it is pretty magical.
Basic customer considerations Basic site safety Structural information - rafter size, spacing and span, among other things Roof information - including roofing material and condition Site information - required for all ground- and pole-mounted arrays Shade analysis for proposed array site Electrical information - system voltage and type, service disconnect size, panel ratings and more!
