Objectives
- Define the key data needed to design a solar system. This information will be gathered during the pre-job definition of the solar system’s requirements. Success will be determined by the attendant’s ability to tabulate a list of the required data.
- Appraise the cost, ROI, and potential incentives available for the integration of renewable energy into a project. These elements will be calculated as part of the feasibility study for each RE project. Successful comprehension will be measured by the attendant’s ability to estimate the values.
- Select the appropriate type of solar equipment for each type of solar system based on production, cost and local conditions. Equipment choices are made during the design process to ensure the accurate graphical representation of the system in relation to the building’s envelope. Success will be determined by the comprehension of the impact these choices have on the functionality, production, and longevity of each system.
