Training and skill development
We provide certificate course for Advanced PV solar system design & installation along with the practical online training.
Our trainers provide hands-on system design instruction for people seeking employment in the solar industry,
as well as companies that want to grow or establish in-house solar design departments.
The goal of this training course is to give students an in-depth exposure to the numerous considerations involved in the design and permitting of both residential
and commercial Photovoltaic (PV) systems. Students will learn how to generate system designs and supporting documentation for solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems
which includes production of plans for building permit applications and construction, specification of solar equipment and components, design of systems,
and mechanical and electrical points of connection for grid-tied Photovoltaic (PV) system.
Other topics include site analysis, system sizing, array configuration, and performance estimation; electrical design characteristics such as wiring,
overcurrent protection, and grounding; a detailed look at module and inverter specifications and characteristics; mounting methods for various roof structures
and ground mounts; and an introduction to safely and effectively commissioning grid¬-direct PV systems.
