Background
Mr. Mayfield has been working in the renewable energy field since 1999 and currently focuses on commercial photovoltaic (PV) system design and education. As the President at Renewable Energy Associates, he provides design, support and educational services for architectural and engineering firms, contractors, manufacturers and government agencies. Typical projects include commercial and residential PV system designs and training PV system designers and installers. Mr. Mayfield also works directly with manufacturers of PV-specific products to help gain market acceptance and develop products that directly help the implementation and use of their products.
Mr. Mayfield serves as Photovoltaic Systems Technical Editor for SolarPro magazine, regularly writing feature articles in SolarPro and Home Power magazines; he is also the author of PV Design and Installation for Dummies (published in 2010). He is an Affiliated Certified Master Trainer (from the Institute for Sustainable Power Quality) for the PV course he teaches at Lane Community College. In these classes, Ryan prepares students for careers in the solar industry in all aspects of PV design and installation. Ryan also teaches various PV courses across the nation for electricians, existing solar professionals, code officials, inspectors and individuals looking to join the solar industry. Class topics include National Electrical Code, Oregon Solar Code and PV systems, commercial PV systems, and preparation for the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) exams. Ryan holds a Limited Renewable Energy Technician (LRT) license in Oregon and chairs Oregon's LRT apprenticeship committee.
Ryan Mayfield teaches a popular 10 week online course on Megawatt Solar Design with SolarPro and HeatSpring. The courses includes 50+ hours of instruction and goes deeper than webinars or workshops can go. At the end of the course, students submit a full system design, equipment selection, and project budgets and get 1 on 1 feedback from Ryan.
