(V) Oregon Solar Energy Conference

This course unpacks metal roof installations with a brief overview on the various types of metal roofs & their advantages for PV. Wire management techniques are presented in detail, along with other best practices & “how-to’s” for installing rail-less solar systems on metal roofs. Finally, methods for installing various accessories from microinverters to homeruns are discussed.

Session will cover proper selection and sizing of battery banks for off-grid & grid-connected systems. Installation, inspection, charge programming and maintenance for systems using flooded or sealed AGM & GEL models will be outlined. Integration and setup of Rolls LFP lithium models in new and existing systems will also be discussed.

For the experienced installer, this session will offer advanced technical instruction relating to flooded and sealed lead-acid deep cycle battery-based system design, product selection, installation and maintenance. System adjustments, monitoring and effective troubleshooting techniques used to maximize efficiency and maintain battery capacity will be outlined in detail.

Whether providing backup power when the grid is down, operating in self-consumption mode, or reducing peak demand charges, there are numerous use cases for PV systems with energy storage that interact with the utility grid. Lessons include detailed design considerations for AC and DC coupled systems, along with analyzing equipment specifications and thorough design examples.

Rooftop solar is a technology that promises to power homes with clean, renewable sunshine AND save money. However, solar alone cannot power a home during a grid outage, leaving the solar customer vulnerable when the grid goes down. System owners have turned to energy storage to overcome these challenges. Although solar + storage systems are becoming more powerful, most energy storage systems are only capable of powering a couple of appliances for a few hours during a power outage, and powering the whole home requires a prohibitively expensive multi-battery installation. In this webinar, learn how to design a cost effective solar + storage system for whole home backup power using load management technology.

Do you think homeowners will get scared away by home battery complexity and price?  Times are changing!  With more frequent grid outages, new incentives, new products, and increased demand for resiliency in the face of changing climate, now’s the time to wrap your head around home energy storage products.  Get charged up with the info you need at today’s talk.
