Cross Metal Buildings, a leading self storage metal building provider headquartered in San Antonio, has announced that Mark Wing, Project Manager, has completed an intensive six day Photovoltaic Solar certification training course in Fremont, California.
The course included the design and estimation of grid tie photovoltaic systems, as well as economic, financial, and regulatory considerations. In addition, the course qualified attendees in electrical component selection and function. Hands-on training labs included customer site evaluation and wiring of a live solar array feeding grid. A rooftop mounting installation completed the course.
“A grid-tie photovoltaic solar system is a solar energy technology that uses unique semiconductors to convert solar radiation into direct current electricity,” says Wing. “Then, thru the use of an inverter, turns the direct current electricity into AC power that can be used in the utility grid.”
Cross Metal Buildings plans to integrate a complete grid-tie photovoltaic system into the building systems that the company offers. Says president of Cross, Donna May, “It’s time for all commercial developers, contractors and subcontractors to recognize the need to employ alternate energy and green energy provisions as either primary or secondary energy sources. I’m pleased that we can now provide this choice to our clients.”
Cross Metal Buildings provides metal building design and engineering, construction, turnkey metal buildings and consulting specializing in buildings for the self storage industry.
