On the off-chance that anyone out there is interested in an advanced off-grid
training class on the 25th & 26th of this month for about $400 in Hopland, CA...
The advanced off-grid course (PV 290) needs more participants lest it should be
postponed until October. Just thought I'd post because I was planning to take
this course...

The MREA (Midwest renewable energy association) offers classes, some on-line
now. Really good Instructors.

Full disclosure, I teach part time from them.

Wrenchers -
I am in need of hands-on advanced training for my own continuing
education. I have a California C46 solar contractor's license and plenty of
experience designing and installing systems. But, as you all know, there are
always more details to master, code issues to be clarified, and new
technologies coming down the pike. I'd like to focus on off-grid and on-grid
w/BB systems over straight grid-tie.
I'm looking at Solar Living Institute as that's here in NorCal, where I
live.
Are there any training schools/programs that you guys would recommend?
My main requirements are that the instructor has 20+ years of hands-on
experience and that the training is hands-on and fully comprehensive. I am
interested in getting NABCEP certified but I'm more concerned with getting
professional, in-depth training than with qualifying for NABCEP exam
requirements.
Thanks!

Larry:
Yes, you can parallel conductors (there is an NEC limit on minimum size
allowed to parallel).
You just add the ampacity of the two conductors.
To convince yourself you can also check Table 8 Conductor Properties
and sum the cross sectional areas of all the parallel conductors to see the
equivalency to a single larger conductor.

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Combining conductors
Wrenches,
Here's a tough one for me to understand. I am installing 2 volt AGM
batteries. There are two terminals for each battery polarity. I have some
height limits so I need to use the minimum wire size. Here's my question: If I
combine two identical conductors, what is the equivalent single conductor size?
I found one "rule of thumb" that says doubling like conductors creates
a AWG decrease of 3. Example: two #2 will be equivalent to 2/0. Is this true?
Thank you,
Larry Crutcher
