The 2020 National Electrical Code has been published and printed, and the adoption process is ongoing across the country. The 2020 NEC has significant changes that impact the fast-growing and rapidly evolving PV and energy storage industries: learn about the major NEC changes in order to keep your system designs, permitting, and installations on track, and to keep up with the latest advancements in system safety.

This course will review the 2020 National Electrical Code requirements for solar PV system installations. It provides visual examples of the various equipment as outlined in Article 690.2. Key code changes will be provided for sections pertaining to PV installations, including Articles 690 and 705, as well as services in Article 230, grounding and bonding in Article 250, and wiring methods in chapter 3. During the course, there will also be an in-depth analysis of Article 690.47 Grounding Electrode System Requirements, Solar Labeling Requirements, Rapid Shutdown and Article 705 Interconnection Requirements and Calculations. Photos of installations throughout the Northeast will be discussed to illustrate key topics.
