 ning program is intended to give participants a fundamental knowledge and 
 understanding of the electrical aspects of photovoltaic systems\, commonly
  referred to as Solar Power Generation Systems.&nbsp\; This program will i
 nclude a brief history of photovoltaic cells and systems and discuss how p
 hotovoltaic power contributes to the electric grid. The program will inclu
 de a review of the fundamentals of electricity and discuss how they are ap
 plied within a solar array.&nbsp\; The various components of a photovoltai
 c system will be presented and the interaction of the various components i
 n a cell\, module\, and array will be explained as it relates the power ge
 nerating function&nbsp\; of the overall photovoltaic system. Safety protoc
 ols relevant to the investigation of fires involving photovoltaic systems 
 will be introduced\, and common failures in these systems will also be ide
 ntified.&nbsp\; Case studies will be utilized as appropriate to illustrate
  the practical application of the information presented in this course.</d
