• System Analysis-  Students will be asked to bring a copy of their electrical bill. An example of an electrical bill will be evaluated in class. Students will learn to read the needed information on their bills to construct an analysis of the needed load. This is needed to know how big the system is going to be. Forms and examples will be given as part of the student packet.
• Making a kit. From the panels to small components like wire and MC4 connectors will be reviewed. This course evaluates what they need to take into consideration and look at efficiency ratings.
