- Reviews
This hands-on course is a practical guide for anyone aspiring to master the complete process of installing solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Whether you’re an entry-level technician, an aspiring solar entrepreneur, or a hands-on learner, this course provides a robust foundation from system design to live installation and troubleshooting.
Spanning 7 in-depth modules, learners will begin by understanding solar energy as a resource, core electrical concepts, and the major components of a solar PV system. From there, you’ll dive into site preparation, 1kW system installation, load separation, using a multimeter, wiring configurations, and interpreting schematics.
Through real-world videos, quizzes, and field-based insights, the course walks you through how to lift panels safely to a roof, make correct electrical connections, and commission a functioning system. You’ll also learn how to maintain lead-acid batteries, troubleshoot common issues, and use protective devices to ensure safe installations.
By the end of this course, you’ll not only understand how solar PV systems work—you’ll be able to confidently install one, read technical diagrams, and implement safety protocols to protect both equipment and installers.
