NCCETC had an incredible time at the 2026 Better Buildings Better Plants Summit last week! 🌱

The Center's Clean Power & Industrial Efficiency team leads the U.S. DOE Southeast Onsite Energy Technical Assistance Partnership (TAP), which provides no-cost technical assistance to industrial facilities and large energy users.

This event was a fantastic opportunity for the Center to collaborate with a regional network of TAPs from across the country, as well as connect directly with manufacturers and industrial-sector end users. 🌟

From solar installer to operator: the skills gap no one talks about. Installing a system is one skillset, operating and maintaining it over time is another. 💡

As more projects come online, professionals who understand how systems perform, degrade, and fail in real-world conditions are better equipped to support long-term system success. That's where strong operations and maintenance knowledge becomes critical.

We're offering a 2-day, hands-on O&M training focused on real-world skills:
⚡ Performance evaluation & data collection
⚡ Arc flash safety requirements
⚡ Ground fault detection
⚡ Thermal imaging & IV curve tracing
⚡ Fuse servicing and field diagnostics

This course is built for professionals who want to catch issues early, reduce downtime, and operate PV systems with confidence - not just install them.

Register now to join us in-person in Raleigh, NC, on June 9-10, 2026!
