The training session is packed with information about system design basics, grid tied solar PV system installation, battery based solar PV systems, energy efficiency measures, and commissioning of solar PV systems.
The curriculum for Solar PV installers largely covers electrical knowledge, PV system knowledge and detailed installation of PV power systems. The Curriculum for the Solar PV designers cover mostly those of solar PV installers in addition to basic repairs and problem solving for installed solar PV system, both stand-alone or grid connected.
The focus of the training is in the installation, troubleshooting and maintenance of a small scale residential solar PV systems. This fits with the targeted countries’ market development where the potential for solar PV projects will be for the urban rooftop installations.
Participants develop their skills and understanding of basic solar theory, system components, design, installation, commissioning, and handover of a small scale PV system. This also includes the maintenance and troubleshooting of the system. Qualified electricians with relevant working experience are the training course’s target group of trainees.
One of Mexico’s solar PV training program is offered through the IIE (Electric Research Institute) as a 3 day course focusing specifically on grid tied residential solar PV systems. The materials are covered within 2 days of lectures and 1 day of hands on practice.
Working together with Solar Energy International, the oldest and largest renewable energy training organization in the USA, the Expert Club provides 2-day solar PV installer training sessions throughout India.
