By bike & public transit:
If you're coming by bike, feel free to bring your bike inside for safe keeping. We're about a 10-15 minute walk from MacArthur BART and AC Transit's #51 bus stops right out front.
By car:
Free parking all day can usually be found on the side streets off Broadway. Free two-hour parking is pretty easy to find on our end of Broadway, but the $55 ticket hurts should you overstay your welcome!
Other suggestions:
We'll be doing a lot of hands-on work, so please wear comfortable clothes and shoes. On 4 out of the 5 days, we'll spend time outside, so I'd recommend bringing a water bottle, sun block and a hat.
There are a number of places to eat within walking distance, but we have a fridge and a microwave if you want to pack a lunch. We make lots of strong coffee and I guarantee none of it will be decaf.
Please call or email if you have any questions and I look forward to seeing you on the roof!
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE COMPONENTS:
PV101 Solar Installation
Length: 2 days, 16 hours
Outline: A practical, hands-on introduction to residential solar electric systems (photovoltaics or PV). 70% hands-on, 30% lecture. Discover the principles, learn the terminology and get hands-on with the hardware & tools. From the classroom to the rooftop in two fast-paced days. We begin with basic electrical principles as applied to grid-tied solar, including instruction on the use of a digital multimeter. You will learn to assemble, install, configure and troubleshoot racking systems, solar panels, DC disconnects, AC/DC inverters, main panels and more. You will learn to install racking solutions for pitched roofs, flat roofs and ground mounts. You’ll be introduced to real-world environmental factors of shade & temperature and how they can improve or undermine performance in your system. In small group and individual exercises, we will cover grounding, safety, finding rafters, mounting stand-offs, sealing penetrations, protecting roof integrity, bending conduit, installing various racking systems, testing modules for voltage & current, and doing wiring diagrams. The highlight of this course occurs at the end of Day 2, when you will work as part of a small team on a mock roof to build a working grid-tied solar system. Plug in, turn on, make electricity from sunlight, baby. If you are not smiling at the end of this class, you are clinically dead.
