ofassessment, the participants were assessed individually on the troubleshooting exercise, whichrequired them to troubleshoot following the right troubleshooting process, and to fix theidentified problem(s) in the PV system. The troubleshooting exercise was chosen because itincorporated the knowledge learned from all the other hands-on exercises. The performance ofthe individuals on the exercise was assessed by instructors using the hands-on evaluation form onthe last day of the technician-level material. Participants were rated on 4 major troubleshootingsteps: Step 1: Describe the symptoms of the problem Step 2: Diagnose/identify the problem using a systematic approach Step 3: Find the cause of the major problem Step 4

States were down 2.8%, thebiggest annual drop since the 1980s [1]. The Smart Grid enables grid operators to see further into thesystem and allows them the flexibility to better manage the intermittency of RES. This in turn surmountsa significant barrier, enabling wind and solar to be deployed rapidly – and in larger percentages to havea green Smart Grid.Going Green through the use of RES and make the planet sustainable and by so doing improve the airquality and environment. US government has required that by the year 2030 that 20% of the electricalenergy generated in the U S will be from RES. There are many different types of RES such ashydroelectric, biomass, wind, solar, wave, tidal and geothermal. The key to the usage of renewableresources is
