8790517 - Solar Energy Technician Program - ONLINE
Course Description
Students in the Solar Energy Technician program will develop a wide range of knowledge and skills that cover everything from solar PV system design and installation to maintenance and commissioning. The learning objectives in this program are broad in scope and cover the most important aspects that anyone working in the solar PV industry should thoroughly understand. The program combines technical and skills training in areas such as safety protocols, electrical and electronics knowledge, system components and sizing, performance analysis, maintenance and troubleshooting techniques. With a strong emphasis on safety and best practices in industry, graduates are well-prepared for entry-level positions in the solar energy sector.
The Solar Energy Technician program consists of 12 modules of interactive curriculum using state-of-the-art simulation software with virtual lab/shop experiments, combined with videos, animations and real-world practical examples to reinforce the fundamental concepts of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology. The Solar Energy Technician Program along with the Construction Health and Safety Micro-credential is approved for NABCEP CEUs and designed to prepare students with the knowledge and practical skills needed to pursue NABCEP’s PV Installation Professional (PVIP) certification.
