Course Description

Course Description:  Once you’ve gained a solid understanding of solar energy principles, you’ll be ready for this solar panel installation course that takes a deeper dive into system components and installation technique. We’ll teach you how to actually install a solar PV system – i.e., the nuts and bolts of attaching the solar modules to the roof, wiring, installing electrical components, and evaluating the performance of the finished product.

Who Should Take This Course?  This course is ideal for builders, roofers, electricians, construction workers, contractors, foremen, site managers, project managers, system engineers, and anyone interested in acquiring solar installation skills.

Course Format:  PV201 is available in two formats: 100% online or blended. The curriculum is exactly the same regardless of which format you choose.

• Online – features video presentations, practice questions, PDFs, and useful links to additional online content. We recommend that students spend 25-40 hours in total completing this course.
• Blended – begins with instant access to the online training modules. Participants conclude this program with 2 days in person, where they will gain hands-on experience assembling a 1 kW solar panel array.
