DGIC Webinar July 19 Webinar on Plug-and-Play Solar

Join the Distributed Generation Interconnection Collaborative (DGIC) on July 19 for a free webinar on the topic of plug-and-play solar.

To date, the solar interconnection process has involved a narrowly defined set of equipment, installed by professionals in a particular manner. However, new technologies are proposing to radically simplify the construction, wiring, and interconnection of these systems. Learn how these new "plug-and-play" technologies and techniques could deliver equipment and labor cost savings, necessitate changes to interconnection standards and procedures, and even reduce utility effort required for analysis and inspection.

Date and Time: July 19, 2017, 12–1 p.m. Mountain Time

Speakers: Matthew Kromer (Director of Grid Integration, Fraunhofer Center for Sustainable Energy Systems) and Justin Woodard (Principal Engineer, NES New Grid Offerings, National Grid)

Premieres LIVE: July 24, 2017

4:00 PM EDT / 3:00 PM CDT / 1:00 PM PDT / 8:00 PM GMT

Free to Attend

The pipeline for offshore wind energy projects keeps growing as more and more states see the business and economic benefits these giant renewable energy installations can provide.

Join us in this webcast to learn from the experts how offshore oil and gas industry stakeholders can help build America’s offshore wind industry.

What You'll Learn:

•	The types of offshore wind jobs
•	Regulations and requirements for working in offshore wind
•	The roll of labor unions in building offshore wind farms off the U.S. east coast
•	Financial risks associated with worker coverage in offshore wind
