Solar America Board for Codes and Standards: An Overview

Wednesday, January 25, 2012, 2:00-3:00 p.m., Eastern Time.

The Solar America Board for Codes and Standards (Solar ABCs) was formed to identify current issues, establish a dialogue among key stakeholders, and catalyze appropriate activities to support the centralized development of photovoltaic (PV) system codes and standards. The overarching goal of the Solar ABCs is to facilitate and accelerate the installation of high quality, safe PV systems. This program also provides access for PV manufacturers, sellers, buyers, users and regulators of a particular PV material, product, process or service to sponsor PV codes and standards research studies to help foster the acceleration of the PV market.

In this webinar, Solar ABCs Project Administrator, Larry Sherwood, will give an overview of the program and talk about current codes and standards issues including: preventing fires, ensuring firefighter safety, making sure the power rating is as labeled, and creating good permitting and inspection practices.  This is a free webinar; however, you must register to attend.
