Overview
Education Summit
The Summit will consist of a full day of training sessions — 3 educational tracks with 5 sessions in each — bookended by networking opportunities the nights before and after the Summit.
Topics covered will include PV and energy storage codes and standards, engineering best practices, safety, and O&M intended for anyone interested in learning real tangible technical topics fundamental to support the planning, sales, design, installation, oversight, and management of solar and storage assets. Up to 6.5 NABCEP CEUs will be available for the full day of training. All session content will be developed by Mayfield Renewables and taught by a combination of our own expert trainers and guest subject matter experts.
Who we are:
Founded in 2007, Mayfield Renewables is an engineering consultancy that delivers a variety of services—including engineering, feasibility studies, consulting and educational programs—to companies in the solar and energy storage industries.
Education is at the heart of everything we do at Mayfield Renewables. Starting with owner, Ryan Mayfield, and his love of demystifying codes and standards, Mayfield is committed to “Making expertise accessible” and has developed and delivered best-in-class technical training to the industry for over a decade.
Why now?
The PV and energy storage industry is at an inflection point. Developers and manufacturers can’t hire and train fast enough to meet rapidly growing demand for competent staff. Scaling quickly and safely is essential to meeting the targets for a resilient and reliable energy future. As longtime experts and educators in this field, Mayfield Renewables is dedicated to training the next generation – through our own material and collaborations with other industry veterans.
Why Austin, TX?
The Lone Star State, previously at the forefront of the oil and gas sector and known for its cultural emphasis on independence and “going big,” is quickly transforming into a renewables hub for everything from manufacturing to development to R&D.
What is the “Welcome & Great Transformation”?
The evening before the full day of training at the Summit will include a panel presentation with varying perspectives from local and national leaders on the topic of Education’s Role in the Energy Transition, followed by a networking happy hour.
Note: There is a separate registration for “The Great Transformation” panel discussion prior to the Summit.

Agenda
Thursday, October 3rd
8:00 – 9:00 AM | Check-in, breakfast + networking
9:00 – 10:30 AM | Critical Updates to the 2023 NEC for PV
Trainer: Ryan Mayfield
The 2023 editions of the National Electrical Code (NEC) brought many new and revised requirements for PV systems. NEC code-making panel member Ryan Mayfield will kick off the educational summit with a session on the most critical updates installers, developers, and manufacturers should be aware of.
9:00 – 10:30 AM | UL 9540A and Energy Storage Fire Risks
Trainers: Lucas Miller & Tyson Bittrich
The UL 9540 listing and 9540A testing standards are living documents that evolve over time. In this session, battery experts will overview the 9540 standard, key updates to the listing and testing process, and general battery fire safety best practices.
9:00 – 10:30 AM | Insulation Resistance Testing for PV Systems
Trainer: Volney Naranjo
Verifying the insulation resistance for conductors within a PV array is essential to any commissioning and O&M procedure. Damaged insulation will ultimately manifest as a ground fault, which can cascade into safety and performance hazards. It’s in everyone’s best interest to verify insulation health on a regular basis according to the latest codes and standards.
During this 90-minute session, instructors from Megger will provide clear guidance on the insulation resistance test process from start to finish.
10:30 – 11:00 AM | Break
11:00 AM – 12:30 PM | UL 3741 Product and Design Requirements
Trainers: Ryan Mayfield
Led by Ryan Mayfield, this session will explain the details of UL 3741 listing and its impacts on PV system design, product design, and NEC compliance. If you develop commercial rooftop systems, this is the session for you.
11:00 AM – 12:30 PM | Energy Storage Design Considerations
Trainers: Zach Snyder & the Mayfield Engineering Team
Energy storage attachment rates are on the rise. What factors should be top of mind when designing a solar-plus-storage system? In this session, Mayfield Renewables engineers will walk you through design best practices and component-level considerations.
11:00 AM – 12:30 PM | Demystifying Microgrid Controllers
Trainers: Justine Sanchez & Laura Williams
When developing a microgrid project, it is important to understand early on what functionality is possible with your selected resource mix. A key component that can unlock potential or introduce constraints is the microgrid controller. What is a microgrid controller, and why is it so key to the functionality of my microgrid? When should I start looking for one, and what questions should I ask? Join Ageto for a session that will answer these questions and more by discussing four operating microgrids, their successes, and lessons learned.
12:30 – 1:30 PM | Lunch
1:30 – 2:30 PM | PV Interconnection & the 2023 NEC
Trainers: Ryan Mayfield & Brian Mehalic
Ryan Mayfield & Brian Mehalic will provide a detailed look at Sections 705.11 and 705.12 in the 2023 NEC and an overview of the current interconnection methods for PV and energy storage systems.
1:30 – 2:30 PM | Energy Management with Power Control Systems
Trainers: Jason Fisher & Lucas Miller
A new UL standard, UL 3141, is in development for power control systems and energy management systems. This will ultimately change how solar and storage systems are interconnected and controlled.
1:30 – 2:30 PM | Retrofitting PV Systems
Trainers: Anton Patton, Lucas Miller, & Ryan Mateo
As the PV industry matures, a growing number of existing systems require retrofits. String and central inverter failures often occur on systems that are 10+ years old, but the rest of the system typically has a lifespan of 25 to 30 years. This puts design engineers and EPCs in a bind – updating these systems to modern products often creates a cascade of both challenges. In this session, inverter expert Anton Patton from CPS America will be joined by Mayfield Renewables to discuss retrofit considerations, best practices, and potential opportunities when upgrading 600 Vdc systems.
2:30 – 3:00 PM | Break

4:15 – 5:45 PM | Transformer Design Considerations
Trainers: Nick Konen & Adam Stone, PE
Virtually all grid-tied PV and energy storage projects will have one or more transformers. How are transformers sized, configured, and protected? Finish the day with transformer experts to become more familiar with these key electrical components.
4:15 – 5:45 PM | 2023 NFPA 855 and Fire Codes for Energy Storage Systems (Spanish)
Trainer: Angel Zayas
