derek the solarboi, the TikTok and YouTube Sensation!!
I came across a really cool YouTube video, rivaling Mr. Beast, but for solar, which was a purple bearded solarboi going off on Rapid Shutdown UL 3741 PV arrays, I immediately contacted him and a week later, here we are recording this podcast. This guy is entertaining and we are lucky to have him in the industry. This industry needs to be fun!!
derek the solarboi has 3 NABCEP Certifications
PVIP (PV Installation Professional)
PVCMS (PV Commissioning and Maintenance Specialist)
PVSI (PV System Inspector)
Altogether that looks like:
derek the solarboi, NABCEP PVIP, PVCMS & PVSI
That is a total of 18 letters after his name, making him super special!
We talk about some controversial subjects, including Rapid Shutdown and I always try to be bifacial and take both sides for educational purposes, but encourage my guests to have strong opinions. If you have a strong opinion, let’s get you on the show!
Here are some of the topics we covered:

Rapid shutdown methods
UL 3741 PVHCS (PV Hazard Control Systems)
