PNW OSSIA/WASEIA 2026

**NABCEP & BCD CEU SESSION: You must check into each session on the Conference APP and stay for the entire session to receive CEU credit.**

Are you adding storage-based systems to your services? In this one-hour session, learn the basics of microgrid design and functionality from Mayfield Renewables engineering consultants. How is a microgrid defined? What functions can these complex systems perform? Join this session to explore topics such as islanding, load selection, typical components and configurations, controls coordination, and more.

This session will explore the recently launched Solar + Storage Installed Model Home incentives offered through the Energy Trust of Oregon EPS New Homes program. You will learn how builders and developers can effectively incorporate S+S systems into their subdivision model homes to give homebuyers a hands-on experience and in-depth education. The incentives and information provided will give solar installers more opportunities to influence new construction residential developments while simplifying the purchase process and making resilient homes more accessible across Oregon.

A look at what is available and possibilities for the near future for commercial facilities:  Solar Power, Battery Energy Storage, EV Charging and Microgrids scaled for simple or more complex scenarios - load management, islanding, utility interconnection, multiple DERs, and "dare we say it" potential for future systems leveraging DC to DC connections from source to load.  It is an exciting time for contractors, suppliers and engineers!
