Wednesday, November 12, 2008 at 2:30 PM (ET)
The next IREC Telephone Seminar will be Wednesday, November 12 at 2:30pm EST (1:30pm CST, 12:30pm MST, 11:30am PST, 10:30am Alaska, 9:30am Hawaii). The seminar will last for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
The topic will be 2008 Update of the National Electrical Code®. The National Electrical Code (NEC) is updated every three years, most recently in 2008. States and local jurisdictions change to new versions of the code on different schedules, but many are now beginning to use the 2008 NEC, which contains a number of updates related to proper installation of PV systems. During this seminar, you will learn about changes in the 2008 NEC that relate to PV installations. John Wiles from New Mexico State University will lead the seminar.
John Wiles
John Wiles, Program Manager at the Technology Development Institute at New Mexico State University, is a leading expert on the National Electric Code (NEC). He assists the PV industry, electrical contractors, electrical inspectors, and purchasing agencies in understanding the PV requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC). John serves as Secretary for an NFPA-appointed Task Group involved with Article 690 of the NEC. Over 40 proposals were submitted for the 2008 code and more than 40 drafts are in the works for the 2011 NEC. He drafted the text for Article 690 in the 2005 and 2008 NEC Handbook. Fieldwork involves balance of systems design for PV systems, inspections and acceptance testing of PV systems, test and evaluation of PV components, and the design and installation of data acquisition systems. John bought his first codebook in 1960 and installed his first PV system in 1984. He has lived in an off-grid, PV/wind-powered home (permitted and inspected, of course) with his wife Patti, two dogs, and a cat for more than 16 years. His current system is 5 kW utility-interactive with whole-house battery backup.
