About this course

This free course is comprised of two lectures.

The first covers 2014 National Electrical Code (NEC) changes for commercial solar projects. The second discusses cost-effective design for large-scale solar systems. The lectures are presented by SolarPro Technical Editor Ryan Mayfield, a veteran solar installer.
