Open Book Test

The Nevada C-2G Photovoltaics examination is an open-book test. The approved reference included in this rental package for the C-2G trade examination is the NFPA 70 - National Electrical Code, 2017 edition.

PSI permits approved reference material to be highlighted, underlined, and indexed before the examination. References may not contain additional loose or attached papers. Permanent tabs are allowed, while temporary tabs such as Post-it notes are not permitted.

The highlighted and tabbed NEC supplied with this package helps candidates prepare using the same code edition identified for the examination. Candidates should practice finding requirements involving photovoltaic systems, conductors, overcurrent protection, grounding and bonding, wiring methods, disconnecting means, electrical equipment, services, and other code areas related to photovoltaic installations.

An open-book exam still requires technical knowledge. Searching the NEC for every question can consume valuable testing time. A stronger approach is to understand the photovoltaic or electrical concept first and then use the NEC to confirm a specific requirement, calculation method, exception, definition, or table value.

With 75 questions and 150 minutes, candidates have an average of about two minutes per question. Regular timed code-navigation practice can help build familiarity with the book and reduce unnecessary searching during the examination.

Licensing Steps

The C-2G examination is one part of the Nevada contractor licensing process. Candidates must complete the applicable licensing requirements in addition to preparing for the trade examination.

1. Confirm the C-2G classification. Make sure the photovoltaic work the business intends to perform falls within the Nevada C-2G Photovoltaics classification.
2. Identify the qualifying individual. The contractor application must identify the individual responsible for meeting the applicable qualification requirements.
3. Prepare experience documentation. Organize qualifying work history and supporting information for the requested contractor classification.
4. Submit the Nevada contractor license application. Provide the required business, qualifying individual, financial, experience, and supporting information.
5. Complete required fingerprinting. Nevada contractor applicants are subject to applicable fingerprint-based background requirements.
6. Receive examination eligibility. Examination authorization is issued after the application is submitted and the applicable experience requirements are verified.
7. Schedule examinations with PSI. The qualifying individual may schedule required examinations after receiving examination eligibility.
8. Prepare for the C-2G trade examination. Review photovoltaic theory, electrical interconnection, system components, installation, design, calculations, permitting, utility interconnection, and safety.
9. Prepare for Nevada business and law. Use the included Construction Business and Law Manual for Nevada alongside the course materials.
10. Complete remaining licensing requirements. Satisfy all applicable Board requirements before the contractor license is issued.

State Requirements

Nevada classifies C-2G Photovoltaics as a specialty area within electrical contracting. The classification authorizes the installation, alteration, and repair of photovoltaic cells, batteries, and inverters used in the conversion of solar energy into electricity.

The scope does not extend to the installation, alteration, or repair of electrical wires beyond the service panel under the C-2G classification. The classification is directed toward qualifying photovoltaic work rather than unrestricted electrical contracting.

Because photovoltaic systems combine electrical equipment with solar-energy technology, candidates should understand both the electrical-code requirements and the practical operation of photovoltaic components. Modules, conductors, inverters, batteries, disconnects, grounding components, overcurrent protection, and system interconnection all work together as part of the complete installation.

Nevada contractor licensing includes requirements beyond passing the trade examination. The Nevada State Contractors Board determines applicant qualifications and examination eligibility, and applicants must satisfy applicable business, experience, financial, examination, and licensing requirements.

Reference Books

• NFPA 70 - National Electrical Code, 2017 edition
  Included Rental Book: This highlighted and tabbed electrical code reference supports preparation involving photovoltaic installations, conductors, grounding and bonding, overcurrent protection, wiring methods, disconnects, equipment, services, and other electrical requirements. The 2017 NEC is the code reference approved for use inside the Nevada C-2G trade examination.
• Construction Business and Law Manual for Nevada
  Included Rental Book: This highlighted and tabbed reference supports preparation for Nevada contractor business and law topics, including material associated with contractor management responsibilities and the Nevada licensing process.

Exam Room Approved Books

For the Nevada C-2G Photovoltaics trade examination, the exam-room-approved reference included with this package is:

• NFPA 70 - National Electrical Code, 2017 edition

The 2017 NEC should be used regularly throughout preparation. Candidates should learn how to navigate by article, subject, table, definition, and index term rather than depending on memorized page numbers.

The Construction Business and Law Manual for Nevada is included for Nevada business and law preparation and is the approved reference used for the open-book Nevada contractor management examination.

Because the books supplied with this package are highlighted and tabbed, candidates can use the same prepared references throughout their study period to develop a repeatable navigation method.

Test Information and Study Materials

A strong C-2G study plan should combine photovoltaic trade knowledge, electrical theory, NEC navigation, calculations, system design, safety, and Nevada business and law preparation.

Photovoltaic Theory should include the fundamental principles involved in converting solar energy into electrical energy. Candidates should understand the relationships among photovoltaic modules, arrays, voltage, current, power, and system output.

Electrical Interconnection represents a major examination category. Preparation should include how photovoltaic equipment interfaces with electrical systems, along with applicable conductors, overcurrent protection, disconnecting means, grounding, bonding, and code requirements.

Photovoltaic Components should be studied as parts of a complete system. Candidates should understand the purpose and interaction of modules, inverters, batteries, conductors, combiner equipment, disconnects, protective devices, and other system components.

Photovoltaic Installation should include practical system assembly, conductor routing, equipment installation, electrical connections, protection, grounding, mounting considerations, and proper installation methods.

Estimating, Calculations, and Design account for 20 examination questions, making this the largest content area. Candidates should devote meaningful study time to calculations and system-design concepts rather than depending solely on code-book lookup skills.

Permitting, Inspection, and Utility Interconnections should also be part of preparation. Photovoltaic work must integrate technical installation knowledge with applicable inspection and interconnection considerations.

Safety should be reviewed throughout preparation rather than treated as a separate final topic. Photovoltaic work presents electrical hazards and can involve energized equipment, stored energy, rooftop work, tools, and other jobsite risks.

For NEC preparation, practice identifying the subject before opening the book. If a question involves grounding, determine whether it concerns equipment grounding, bonding, grounding electrodes, or another grounding concept. If it involves conductors, identify whether the issue relates to ampacity, sizing, protection, routing, or another requirement.

The included 6 months of course access gives candidates time to work through these subjects in a structured format while repeatedly using the highlighted and tabbed references. Practice-oriented study can help identify weaker areas so additional time can be directed toward calculations, electrical interconnection, components, code navigation, or business and law.

The Construction Business and Law Manual for Nevada should also be incorporated into the regular study schedule. Alternating trade preparation with business and law review can help candidates maintain a balanced approach to the overall contractor licensing process.
