Built for the jobsite.
Not the classroom.
A 16-module course on installing, commissioning, and handing over utility-scale battery storage. Written by people who have built it; structured for the people who will.
Field execution depth, every project role.
The free certification courses run exam-oriented. The video courses run theory-heavy. Neither walks the actual sequence of building a utility-scale BESS site. This does.
Sequenced like the work
Modules follow the physical construction order: civil, foundations, pads, containers, grounding, PCS, MV cable, commissioning. Each module hands forward to the next.
Code-anchored, not opinion-led
Built on NFPA 855, NEC Article 706, OSHA 1926/1910.147, IEEE 80, UL 9540, and UL 9540A. Codes are cited so you can verify against the spec on your project; every job has its own values.
Built for every project role
Field supers and foremen get installation depth. PMs and developers get economics, contracting, and procurement. PV professionals get the bridge between solar and storage.
Pick your lane. Or get everything.
Lifetime access. No subscription. No per-seat. Future modules included on every paid tier.
