Exam Details

The Nevada C-2G Photovoltaics Contractor examination contains 75 questions. Candidates have 150 minutes to complete the test and must answer 56 questions correctly to pass.

The examination content includes the following subject areas:

• Photovoltaic Theory: 5 questions
• Electrical Interconnection: 15 questions
• Permitting, Inspection, and Utility Interconnections: 5 questions
• Photovoltaic Components: 15 questions
• Photovoltaic Installation: 10 questions
• Estimating, Calculations, and Design: 20 questions
• Safety: 5 questions

Estimating, Calculations, and Design is the largest individual content area with 20 questions. Candidates should be comfortable working with electrical quantities, photovoltaic array relationships, system sizing concepts, conductor considerations, equipment selection, and other calculations used in photovoltaic system design.

Electrical Interconnection accounts for 15 questions. Preparation should include how photovoltaic equipment interfaces with electrical systems, including conductors, grounding and bonding, overcurrent protection, disconnecting means, wiring methods, and system connections.

Photovoltaic Components also accounts for 15 questions. Candidates should understand the purpose and relationship of modules, arrays, inverters, batteries, conductors, disconnects, overcurrent devices, and related photovoltaic equipment.

Photovoltaic Installation accounts for 10 questions and focuses on practical installation knowledge, including equipment placement, wiring, mounting, system layout, protection, and electrical connections.

Open Book Test

The Nevada C-2G Photovoltaics Contractor examination is an open-book test.

The NFPA 70 - National Electrical Code, 2017 edition is the exam-room-approved trade reference included with this rental package. Candidates should use the highlighted and tabbed NEC throughout preparation so that major electrical and photovoltaic-related sections become familiar before test day.

Photovoltaic Systems, 3rd Edition, 2011, OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926, and Ugly's Electrical References are study references and are not allowed into the examination.

Open-book testing still requires strong preparation. With 75 questions in 150 minutes, candidates have an average of about two minutes per question. A candidate who attempts to search the NEC from the beginning for every answer can quickly lose valuable time.

A stronger approach is to learn photovoltaic concepts first and use the NEC strategically. Candidates should be able to recognize whether a question involves photovoltaic systems, conductors, grounding, overcurrent protection, disconnecting means, wiring methods, equipment, or another major code subject before beginning a lookup.

The highlighted and tabbed format helps support faster navigation. Tabs make it easier to reach major sections, while highlighting helps important code language stand out once the correct section has been located.

Licensing Steps

The Nevada C-2G trade examination is one part of the contractor licensing process. Applicants must complete the applicable qualification, application, examination, and licensing requirements before a contractor license is issued.

1. Confirm the C-2G classification. Make sure the Photovoltaics subclassification matches the work the business intends to perform.
2. Identify the qualifying individual. The contractor application must identify the person responsible for satisfying the applicable trade qualification requirements.
3. Document qualifying experience. Prepare the work-history information required for the contractor classification.
4. Submit the Nevada contractor license application. Complete the applicable application and supporting documentation.
5. Receive examination eligibility. After the application and qualification information are reviewed, the qualifying individual can proceed with the required examinations.
6. Prepare for the C-2G trade examination. Study photovoltaic theory, electrical interconnections, components, installation, calculations, design, permitting, utility interconnections, and safety.
7. Practice NEC navigation. Use the highlighted and tabbed 2017 National Electrical Code during study so important sections can be located efficiently.
8. Prepare for Nevada Business and Law. Use the included Construction Business and Law Manual for Nevada and course materials to organize business and law preparation.
9. Complete the required examinations. Take the applicable trade and business examinations associated with the licensing process.
10. Complete remaining licensing requirements. Finish the additional state requirements associated with contractor license issuance.

State Requirements

The Nevada C-2G Photovoltaics classification covers the installation, alteration, and repair of photovoltaic cells, batteries, and inverters used in the conversion of solar energy into electricity.

The classification does not include installation, alteration, or repair of electrical wiring beyond the service panel. Candidates should understand this scope when preparing for both the examination and the licensing process.

Photovoltaic contracting combines solar-energy principles with electrical knowledge. Contractors must understand how photovoltaic modules generate electricity, how arrays are configured, how inverters and batteries interact with the system, and how photovoltaic equipment connects to electrical systems.

This relationship makes the National Electrical Code a central part of preparation. Candidates should understand how electrical requirements apply to conductors, grounding and bonding, overcurrent protection, disconnecting means, equipment, wiring methods, and photovoltaic interconnections.

The Nevada licensing process also includes requirements beyond the trade exam. Applicants must complete the applicable application, qualification, examination, business and law, and other licensing requirements before a contractor credential is issued.

Test Information and Study Materials

A strong Nevada C-2G study plan should combine photovoltaic knowledge, calculation practice, system design, electrical code navigation, installation review, safety preparation, and Nevada business and law study.

Estimating, Calculations, and Design deserves the largest share of study time because it contains 20 questions. Candidates should repeatedly practice electrical and photovoltaic calculations until the required steps become familiar.

Electrical Interconnection should be studied with the highlighted and tabbed NEC nearby. Review conductors, grounding and bonding, overcurrent protection, disconnecting means, wiring methods, electrical equipment, and the way photovoltaic systems connect to other electrical systems.

Photovoltaic Components should include modules, arrays, batteries, inverters, conductors, disconnects, protective devices, mounting systems, and other equipment that forms part of a complete photovoltaic installation.

Candidates should understand how each component functions and how energy moves through the system. Understanding the system as a whole can make design, installation, and code questions easier to interpret.

Photovoltaic Installation should include system layout, equipment placement, mounting, conductor routing, wiring, connections, protection, and practical installation procedures.

Photovoltaic Theory should include voltage, current, power, series and parallel relationships, module characteristics, array behavior, and other solar-electric fundamentals.

Permitting, Inspection, and Utility Interconnections should include understanding how photovoltaic systems move through inspection and connection processes and how electrical requirements affect system integration.

Safety should be studied using OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926. Photovoltaic work may involve electrical hazards, rooftops, ladders, fall exposure, lifting, tools, and active construction environments.

The highlighted and tabbed 2017 NEC should be used throughout preparation rather than only for code-specific practice questions. Candidates should learn the physical organization of the code and become comfortable moving among articles, sections, definitions, and tables.

A useful code-navigation exercise is to select common photovoltaic and electrical subjects and time how long it takes to locate the applicable provision. Repeat difficult searches until navigation becomes faster.

Tabs can reduce the time needed to reach major subjects, while highlighting helps important language stand out after the correct section is located. The most effective preparation combines these tools with an understanding of the code structure.

Photovoltaic Systems should be used to build conceptual knowledge before test day. Since the book is not allowed into the exam, candidates should eventually practice answering photovoltaic theory, component, and installation questions without opening it.

Ugly's Electrical References can support repeated work with formulas and electrical calculations. Use it during preparation to strengthen weak areas, then practice solving similar problems independently.

OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926 should support construction safety preparation. Review the safety material and then use active recall or practice questions so the concepts can be remembered without the book during the examination.

The included Construction Business and Law Manual for Nevada should be incorporated into the overall licensing study schedule. Alternating C-2G trade preparation with business and law study can help candidates maintain progress across both areas.

This rental package includes 6 months of course access, giving candidates time to organize study around the major exam categories, revisit difficult topics, complete practice-oriented review, and strengthen both trade and business-law preparation.

Practice questions should be completed under timed conditions. Attempt the question first, determine whether an NEC lookup is necessary, and then use the approved code book strategically. This can help improve both pacing and reference-navigation judgment.

Missed questions should be reviewed by subject. If calculation questions remain difficult, spend additional time with formulas and worked problems. If code searches take too long, focus on NEC navigation. If photovoltaic theory is weak, return to the photovoltaic study material and strengthen the underlying concept.
