This accredited course equips participants with the latest knowledge on how to install, maintain and repair a wide range of solar photovoltaic equipment & understand the theory behind solar power.
Participants will develop their skills and understanding of basic solar and electrical theory, systems components, design, installation, commissioning and troubleshooting of a small scale PV system . The training course consists of two parts, the theoretical and practical . The first part ( theoretical) describes the underpinning knowledge that is required to understand the theory behind PV systems, related regulations, safety requirements, design parameters, installation and testing; to be delivered with a face-to-face (classroom lecturers), discussion,videos etc. The second part (practical training) provides the trainees with all the practical skills in carrying out a complete installation and testing.
