SHORT COURSE IN PV INSTALLATION & DESIGN
Course Objective
The essential training objective of this course is to provide the
entry level photovoltaic installer/technician with fundamental
technical knowledge on photovoltaics in order that the
technician may acquire and advance in design, installation and
servicing responsibilities as the market for photovoltaic power
systems progresses
SHORT COURSE IN MODULE MANUFACTURING
Course Objective
Photovoltaics manufacturing is ramping up around the world to
meet these new demands. This course will provide participants with
an overview of photovoltaic technologies and manufacturing
methods, manufacturing steps involved with PV systems, issues
associated with manufacturing and troubleshooting, make
informed decisions regarding a particular solar cell technology and
manufacturing processes and effectively troubleshoot cell and
module technologies.
