Course Description
This course is designed for students that have taken at least two years of the
CORE academy CTE sequence. The fundamental principles and functions of photovoltaic industry will be introduced along with the planning, installation and maintenance of all necessary components for a photovoltaic system. The transmission and distribution of electric power will be reviewed and basic
concepts of electricity, identification, functions and operations of components will be surveyed. Students will be required to obtain OSHA-10, CPR and 1st aid to further prepare them for college or career upon graduation.
What am I going to learn this year?
1. Explain how a solar cell converts sunlight into electrical power
2. List and identify the primary components of a photo voltaic (PV) system and describe their purposes and principles of operation
3. Apply the typical maintenance requirements for PV arrays and other system components, including inverters and batteries
4 . Use solar terminology appropriately when discussing the fundamentals of solar energy
5 . Obtain industry-recognized certificates and function at a job site in a professional manner.
