Solar Energy Training

Instructional Program (CIP)

Description

"The solar industry is experiencing exponential growth, and recent federal legislation, such as the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, is driving even greater demand for solar energy. Our online solar energy course is designed to provide comprehensive training in this booming field, covering key concepts that will equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to excel.
In this solar training course, you will discover the factors driving this industry's growth and demand, including government policies, environmental concerns, and the decreasing cost of solar panels. Understanding these solar industry drivers will help you shape the future of solar energy and stay ahead in this evolving field.
You will learn about the advantages and disadvantages of solar photovoltaics (PV) and gain insights into the positive environmental impact, energy independence, and cost savings associated with solar PV systems. You will also explore the challenges and considerations involved in their installation and operation.
Diving into the essential components of a solar PV system, such as solar panels, inverters, charge controllers, and batteries, you will understand how they work together to capture, convert, and store solar energy—ensuring optimal performance and efficiency. The basics of electricity and safety protocols will also be covered in this solar energy training course. Learn about electrical concepts like voltage, current, and power and how they relate to solar PV systems to create a secure work environment, so you can mitigate potential hazards on the job site.
Please note: To prepare for the certification exam, choose either the NABCEP Certification – PV Associate course (exam cost included), which includes Solar Energy Training content and exam-focused training, or the PV Installation Professional course, which includes Solar Energy Training and Solar Panel Installer Training content, OSHA 10 training, and exam-focused training."
