Be prepared for the challenges of working with and mitigating hazards related to state-of-the-art energy generation and storage with the all-new NFPA® Photovoltaic and Energy Storage Systems Online Training Series.
From government initiatives to health care facilities, office buildings, big box stores, and residences, the world is progressively moving toward the use of green and renewable energy such as photovoltaic (PV) systems and energy storage systems (ESS). With the rapid evolution and proliferation of these emerging technologies comes the exponential increase in the frequency and potential impact of emergency incidents.
Photovoltaic and Energy Storage Systems Online Training Series is designed to help empower more competent professionals working with PV and ESS to minimize the risks of fire, electrical, and life safety related casualty and property damage arising from these installations. This newly introduced four-part program covers comprehensive design, installation, maintenance, and inspection requirements as specified by leading fire, electrical, and life safety codes and standards, including but not limited to:
- NFPA 70®, National Electrical Code® (NEC®)
- NFPA 70E®, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace®
- NFPA 70B, Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance
- NFPA 1, Fire Code
- NFPA 855, Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems
- NFPA 5000®, Building Construction and Safety Code®
NFPA Online Learning offers the flexibility to train on your terms while helping to put you at the forefront of working with photovoltaic and energy storage systems.
This online training series is comprised of four 1-hour courses, one basic and one advanced for PV and ESS, respectively, offering insights into the most current information on PV and ESS systems. A basic course for each centers on how members of a defined team work together to both decrease the likelihood of incidents and reduce the impact of incidents when they do occur. The program emphasizes how code-based decision making positively impacts the different members of the team. The following advanced courses focus on the specific codes and resources that apply to PV and ESS safety, including best practices for locating provisions and specific examples of the most relevant information applicable to design and installation.
The four courses are available for purchase individually and work together as a comprehensive learning series ideal for:
- Contractors focused on increasing their capabilities in working with and installing PV and ESS
- Facility managers needing to improve their knowledge of the responsibilities and hazards of housing these advanced systems
- Manufacturers looking to provide a tool for the authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) to use so that they better understand these technologies and the installation requirements that need to be enforced
- Anyone who plays a role in helping to ensure proper functioning PV and ESS and mitigating the dangers of these systems
Take advantage of self-paced web-based training from the source that publishes the codes and standards.
Developed by NFPA subject matter experts, the all-digital series features interactive, scenario-based exercises throughout to increase learning and retention. You will be challenged to apply lesson content in practical ways and pass assessments to measure your understanding of the material.
