Course Description
The Solar Technician course equips students with the essential skills
to install, maintain, and troubleshoot solar photovoltaic (PV)
systems, preparing them for a career in the rapidly growing
renewable energy sector. The curriculum covers solar panel
installation, electrical connections, safety protocols, and system
maintenance, with a strong focus on hands-on training and real-world
applications. Ideal for those seeking employment in green energy or
looking to start their own solar installation business.
What Students Learn in the Solar Technician Course
During the Solar Technician course, students learn both the
theoretical and practical aspects of solar energy systems. The
course covers the fundamentals of solar power, including how
photovoltaic (PV) technology works and the different types of solar
systems such as on-grid, off-grid, and hybrid setups. Students gain
hands-on experience in installing solar panels, mounting structures,
and configuring electrical components like inverters, batteries, and
charge controllers. They are trained in system design, load
calculation, and site assessment to ensure efficient energy output.
The course also focuses on safety practices, including electrical
safety and working at heights. In addition, students learn how to
troubleshoot and maintain solar systems to ensure long-term
performance. The curriculum includes an overview of government solar
schemes, subsidies, and guidelines to help students stay informed
about industry policies. Soft skills such as communication and
customer handling are also emphasized to prepare students for
real-world interactions in the renewable energy sector.
