In this webinar we will discuss common installation errors and associated consequences on PV installations. We will cover several installation categories, such as wire management, inverters, Rapid Shutdown Devices (RSDs) and then take a deeper dive on a more common cause of rooftop solar fires: connectors. All of these components must last at least 25 years and if they’re not properly installed, they can lead to electrical failures and significant safety risks. We will discuss best practices to avoid these risks and share some helpful field management tools for effective construction, operations and maintenance.

The world is in upheaval - inflation, recession, war, global climate change, pandemics, and collapsing infrastructure. But we are entering a time of prosperity for smart, adaptive consultants. Two of the world’s largest consulting firms have just opened new divisions and are rapidly staffing to take advantage of the upturn they see ahead. What do they see coming? McKinsey & Co., Arthur Andersen, and others, while forecasting near-term slowdowns, are forecasting immense opportunities over the next five years. More than $1 Trillion dollars (with a “T”) is budgeted for infrastructure and Net Zero (Green) projects over the next five years. They also foresee massive growth in the Titanium Economy, industrial-technology-manufacturing industries. How can you as an independent consultant get a part of what has been described as “the largest capital budget programs” in world history? In this webinar, you will learn - The industries, sectors, and niches forecast to have the highest growth. - How as a solo consultant you can grab a part of large projects. - Two LinkedIn tactics that use laser-targeting to quickly fill your pipeline. (One of these tactics is scary-powerful – using it I got 5 out of 5 interviews with CEOs of mid-sized companies within two weeks.) Prior to the webinar, everyone who registers will receive a link to the webinar resources. - Lists of high-growth industry niches and locations - A PDF workbook with fill-in the blanks - Two workflow diagrams with steps to laser target clients using LinkedIn Speaker(s): Ron, Agenda: 6:30 - 8:80 presentation/questions 8:30 + networking with other consultants Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/343353
