Go Solis 2020 Webinar #8: Solis Inverters and SunSpec Alliance: The Importance of SunSpec CSIP 2030.5 Certification and What It Means for PV System Installers

On June 09, Solis Inverters were awarded the SunSpec 2030.5 CSIP (Common Smart Inverter Profile) Certification, leaving the company ahead of schedule to meet the June 22 deadline for compliance with CA Rule 21 Phase 3. What does this mean for installers? Simply, it means that Solis inverters marked with “Client Aggregator” and/or the SunSpec 2030.5 CSIP Certified mark can be installed wherever CA Rule 21 Phase 3 grid support and communications are required.

Terence Parker, Senior Application Engineer from Solis, will be your host. Terence will be joined by Bernie Grant, Solis 3-Phase Product Manager and Special guest Tom Tansy, Chairman of the SunSpec Alliance. We invite you to take a break from those hot July solar rooftops and join SunSpec and Solis for a refreshing dive into communications between Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and the utility grid/aggregators – and most importantly, what these Certifications mean for installers.

As of June 22, 2020, CPUC California Rule 21, Phase 3 requires all smart inverters to connect to utility SCADA systems directly or through an aggregator, making the SunSpec 2030.5 CSIP certification critical for California PV system installers.

Go Solis Webinar #8 attendees will gain a better understanding of how utility/aggregators, the Solis Cloud, and distributed energy resources like Solis Inverters, communicate and support each other today, and attendees may get a glimpse into what a DER/utility-connected world will look like in the future.

Come join us on July 23rd at 10 AM PDT for another “essential” webinar from Solis. We look forward to seeing you and until then, Stay Safe!

By attending this webinar, you will also earn One (1) NABCEP point (PVIP), a Go Solis Webinar Training Certificate and a Solis hat as our gift (first come first serve only for U.S. attendees)
