- Master the sun in one week: the SuperSolarSchool in Otjiwarongo provides participants with everything they need to know about solar photovoltaics (PV).
- The course is offered by the GREEN Solar Academy, arguably the best solar training institution in Africa.
- In the 5 days of training with a strong focus on practical application, participants learn about electrotechnical basics and functionality of PV systems, how to install systems correctly according to international standards and how to plan and manage and sell a project and size the system including the battery pack according the client’s requirements.
- You also get 5 CPD points and endorsed installation training under the PV GreenCard programme.
- The course runs for 5 days from Monday 8th March from 9:00 AM through to Friday 13th March 2021 5:00 PM.
- Price: R12,500.00 excl. VAT (special price for our alumni R11,250.00 excl. VAT).
Interactive exercises make the course content easy to understand and involvement of the participants makes it interesting to follow. Lecturers with practical experience connect the course participants with the industry so it is the ideal course for everyone who wants to get started in solar photovoltaics.
The SuperSolarSchool was developed together with the DGS (German Solar Energy Society) and align with the curriculum of the SAPVIA 5-day Solar PV Installer course. The course is the ideal preparation for all who want to prepare for the PV GreenCard solar PV assessment.
