Hello and welcome.

This is a practical course on how to install a Solar PV System professionally.  This is not a deep theoretical session. But the theory is sufficient to master basic Electrical  principles, do calculations for design purposes. To survive in the Solar Technology space, it is importance to understand and know terminologies used and language spoken.

Have the minimum equipment and instruments to do an Electrical installation. Do a proper preparation for installation, gather information from customer requirements.  Then be ready to do an installation from day 1. Be on the lookout for common mistakes which will cost you dearly in the final product. Perform the installation Electrically safe and adhere to safety rules when executing the work. This will avoid Electrical shocks, injury on duty and damage to customers property.

In the process of installation, be able to perform basic tests like continuity tests, check grid voltage, how to isolate circuits and use multimeter safely. Then also perform  functional testing  of PV system. After installation,  ensure that customers house is restored and all appliances, plugs and switches are working correctly. Further issue an Electrical compliance certificate as per Electrical regulations and legislation (in South Africa).

Also have the ability to best advice the customers of the suitable system  requirements as an installer. As a potential buyer have enough knowledge to make an informed decision to by a Solar PV System.
