PV Technical Team Member Solar Energy International Tucson, Arizona, United States
Join a voting member of Code Making Panel 4 for a discussion of changes in the 2023 NEC® (and a sneak peak at some likely 2026 changes!). Regardless of the version of the National Electrical Code enforced in your jurisdiction, the Code drives industry-wide best practices and product development cycles of manufacturers and is critical for installers, designers, manufacturers, engineers, developers, and building officials to stay current. This presentation will focus on updates and changes that impact PV and storage system design and installation for all types of applications, ranging from off-grid, to interactive PV systems on buildings, up to utility-scale solar farms. There are some great updates that will help reduce system cost while maintaining safety – you need to know what they are to take advantage; there’s also some updates that may end up adding cost – and you need to know the best ways to deal with them. Bring questions if you have them and be ready for a fun time talking Code.
