PHOTON Academy 5-day Workshop – Installing and Designing PV Systems (Malaysia)

PHOTON Academy Workshops cover fundamentals in design, installation and evaluation of residential and commercial solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, off-grid and on-grid based systems. The course curriculum focuses on international installation standards set in relation to the domestic guidelines of each host country. The knowledge taught in this course is a prerequisite to successfully pass the PHOTON Academy Solar PV Installers Exam.

Content of the workshop:

This 40-hour comprehensive training workshop will teach participants how solar photovoltaic systems work, how they are designed, how to predict the output of a system, and how systems are installed. The program will cover the fundamentals of PV, such as how voltage, current, power and energy interrelate (which is very different from the conventional electric systems), and also fundamental knowledge about the economics and expected payback period. Participants will determine how to calculate for variables, such as roof slope, weather patterns, shading, tilt angles, and temperature effects on voltage and equipment variables. Most of all, they will enjoy learning how to install and design safe and cost effective photovoltaic systems.

Those who complete this course will be prepared to become a professional solar photovoltaic installer and system designer. Participants will also earn credit units for the PHOTON Academy Entry Level PV Examination. Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to demonstrate understanding of the basic concepts, principles and applications required by PHOTON Academy as well as the official energy authorities in most countries.

Target group:

This training program is designed for those who intend to pursue a professional career in solar PV system design and installation such as solar installers, contractors, project managers, engineers, electricians, quality inspectors, technical support crew and customer service professionals in the solar energy industry.

The workshop is also ideal for everyone who as a result of already working in this field needs to deepen knowledge about the practical aspects of PV system installations. The workshop therefore unites participants from a wide range of personal backgrounds, such as electricians, engineers, energy professionals, architects, contractors, plumbers, homebuilders, salespeople, students, enthusiasts, and more.

Costs for this 5-day workshop:

€ 950,- per person*
