Requirements

  • Understanding of basic electrical circuits and battery terminology
  • Completion of Introduction to Battery Fabrication or equivalent experience

Description

The definitive deep-dive into stationary Lithium Iron Phosphate energy storage. Master smart BMS protocols (Pylontech, Victron, Deye CAN communication), active capacitive balancing, state of charge algorithms, and battery fire safety compliance.

The course takes students from the fundamentals of solar energy and photovoltaic technology through the identification and application of major solar-system components, electrical load assessment, power auditing, roof characteristics, and the factors that influence solar-system design and installation.

A dedicated Solar Companion Technical Reference provides additional high-level engineering knowledge covering solar inverters, batteries, solar panels, and solar charge controllers, including their ratings, characteristics, sizing considerations, configurations, and applications.

Who this course is for:

  • Advanced solar installers and battery technicians
  • Energy storage system designers and C&I contractors
  • Engineers specifying stationary commercial battery storage
