New Course Alert: 2026 National Electrical Code (NEC®) Changes: PV, ESS, EVs, PCS, and More, Brit Heller The electrical landscape is evolving as clean energy adoption and electrification accelerate – and the 2026 National Electrical Code is adapting right alongside it. Every three years, the National Electrical Code undergoes comprehensive revisions to align with industry practices and technological developments. The 2026 edition introduces particularly impactful changes across solar PV systems, energy storage, EV supply equipment, and emerging power control technologies that are defining the future of electrical installations. Learn from the Code Writers Themselves HeatSpring is excited to announce our new course: “2026 National Electrical Code (NEC®) Changes: PV, ESS, EVs, PCS, and More,” taught by the experts from Solar Tech Collective. Learn from Rebekah Hren and Brian Mehalic, who served on the Code-Making Panels responsible for writing these critical updates, alongside Solar Tech Collective’s seasoned instructor Alex Jahp. Together, they’ll teach you not just what changed, but why these changes were made and how to implement them correctly in real-world applications. What You’ll Learn This comprehensive 2-3 hour course covers the essential changes across key NEC articles for the solar + storage industries: Articles 690 & 691: Solar Photovoltaic Systems and Large-Scale PV Electric Supply Stations Article 705: Interconnected Electric Power Production Sources Articles 480 & 706: Stationary Batteries and Energy Storage Systems Articles 130 & 702: Energy Management Systems and Optional Standby Systems Article 625: Electric Vehicle Power Transfer Systems You’ll gain practical understanding of how these changes impact real-world installations and develop the confidence to navigate the updated requirements in your daily work. Continuing Your Learning Here’s what makes taking this course even more valuable: when Brian, Alex, and Rebekah release their full deep-dive course covering all 2026 NEC requirements for these systems (not just the changes), you can apply the cost of this “changes-focused” course toward the longer format one. This means you can start understanding the critical updates today while building credit toward the complete training program. We’ll notify students via email when the expanded course becomes available.
