As alternative energy technologies rapidly expand across residential, commercial and critical infrastructure, the need for consistent, code-compliant installation and informed emergency response has never been greater. This comprehensive training event is designed for electrical inspectors, building officials, electrical contractors and first responders who are responsible for evaluating, installing, or interacting with modern electrical systems.
Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of current code requirements, emerging technologies, and safety considerations necessary to effectively work with and respond to alternative energy systems in the field.
