New Course: Comprehensive 2026 NEC Requirements for Electrotech: PV, ESS, EVs, PCS, and More Brit Heller The team behind the new “Comprehensive 2026 NEC Requirements for Electrotech: PV, ESS, EVs, PCS, and More” course has spent years helping shape the National Electrical Code, not just applying it (although they do that plenty too). Solar Tech Collective’s Brian Mehalic, Rebekah Hren, and Alex Jahp bring over 50 years of combined experience in solar and energy storage. Rebekah and Brian are active voting members of Code Making Panel 4, the panel responsible for the NEC articles governing PV, energy storage, EVs, and power control systems. That involvement shapes how they teach. They go beyond walking through what the code says. They explain how to interpret it, how to apply it, and why specific requirements exist. Their latest course covers the full scope of 2026 NEC requirements for what Solar Tech Collective calls “electrotech” – solar PV, energy storage systems, EVs, and power control systems – and it’s available now on HeatSpring. What’s in the course The course covers six modules made up of roughly 80 short video lectures with accompanying knowledge checks. Plan on 8-10 hours to complete it. Topics include: Article 690: Solar PV Systems Article 691: Large-Scale PV Electric Supply Stations Article 705: Interconnected Electric Power Production Sources Article 706: Energy Storage Systems Article 480 — Stationary Batteries Article 710: Stand-Alone Systems Articles 130 and 702: Energy Management Systems and Optional Standby Systems Article 625: Electric Vehicle Power Transfer Systems Who should take it This course is built for PV and energy storage designers and engineers, field installers, product developers and integrators, inspectors, and building officials. Really, it’s for anyone who needs to work confidently with the 2026 NEC as it applies to solar, storage, EVs, or power control systems.
