Photovoltaics

After the seminar, participants will be able to:

• Explain the components grid-tied and off-grid PV applications are composed of
• Assess their technical and economic feasibility
• Illustrate the motivations for using PV systems in specific conditions
• Identify relevant business cases for PV applications under different conditions

This training suits those who:

• Are new to PV

• Will have to reliably evaluate PV applications in their work

2 - 4 days

After the seminar, participants will be able to:

• Identify special requirements for the installation of main PV system components
• Instruct their workforce to carry out installation tasks in the required quality
• Pinpoint PV specific hazards and propose suitable counter-measures
• Plan and manage construction and maintenance tasks efficiently

This training suits those who:

• Responsibly supervise work teams on-site
• Train staff who are to carry out installation tasks
• Manage the construction of PV systems

5 - 7 days

After the seminar, participants will be able to:

• Size a photovoltaic (PV) system according to site conditions and client’s requirements
