Solar power generation technology training report

What is included in a solar PV training session?

The training session is packed with information about system design basics, grid tied solar PV system installation, battery based solar PV systems, energy efficiency measures, and commissioning of solar PV systems.

What is a solar training manual?

Manual aims to act as a guide to the solar trainers who instruct PV system users for the sustainable operation of the PV systems. Includes training components, curriculum, and solar PV technology training and examination evaluation sheets. ( JICA, 2009a ).

What is the curriculum for solar PV installers?

The curriculum for Solar PV installers largely covers electrical knowledge, PV system knowledge and detailed installation of PV power systems. The Curriculum for the Solar PV designers cover mostly those of solar PV installers in addition to basic repairs and problem solving for installed solar PV system, both stand-alone or grid connected.

What is a solar training course?

Participants develop their skills and understanding of basic solar theory, system components, design, installation, commissioning, and handover of a small scale PV system. This also includes the maintenance and troubleshooting of the system. Qualified electricians with relevant working experience are the training course’s target group of trainees.

Is there a gap between solar training manuals?

A thorough review of the existing solar PV training manuals was conducted and a gap is identified between the theoretical and practical trainings for the beginners in the solar PV field. During initial steps of solar trainings, beginners often struggle with identification of the system components and their technical specifications.

What is a review of solar PV training manuals?

A review of the solar PV training manuals has been conducted in the present work to understand the content present, target group audience and the level of the solar PV knowledge being imparted through the manuals. The extensive review has been presented here in the Table 1. Table 1. Review of solar PV technical training manuals.
