LEEP PV Webinar Series: Webinar #1

LEEP PV Webinar Series: Webinar #1

Net Zero Webinars

Ben Giudici is an electrical engineer and director with Riverside Energy Systems in Kamloops BC, former faculty at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, and well versed in the design and application of PV systems in British Columbia. Riverside Energy Systems has designed and installed numerous residential and commercial PV systems in BC and abroad, including the CMHC EQuilibrium Green Dream Home in Kamloops.

Ben’s presentation focuses on grid connected PV system basics, assessing shading and designing for shade tolerance, and metering and monitoring systems. It also includes a full system design and costing exercise based on the locally selected archetype home for the BC Lower Mainland LEEP initiative. 

LEEP PV Webinar Series

During the Spring/Summer of 2015, thirteen (13) leading Lower Mainland BC builders participated in Natural Resources Canada’s (NRCan’s) Local Energy Efficiency Partnership (LEEP) initiative. It was brought to the region through the support of the BC Homeowner Protection Office, BC Hydro, Fortis BC, the City of Vancouver, and the City of New Westminster.

Builders use LEEP to reduce their time and risk in finding and trying innovations that could help them build higher performance homes better, faster and more affordably, reduce technical barriers, and improve supply chains.  

During the LEEP workshops in BC’s Lower Mainland, builders requested 3 presentations on Photovoltaic (PV) systems. CHBA hosted these presentations from experts on PV best practices and costing, which were reviewed by the BC builders, as part of the Net Zero webinar series.
