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.
