The Certified Solar PV Professional (SPVP) Training Program is designed to deepen participants'' technical and financial understanding of photovoltaic (PV) systems.
The Solar Training Network addresses a critical need for high-quality, local, accessible training in solar installation and related skills. It was established under the Solar Training and Education for
This collection of courses provides advanced training focused on the critical electrical skills needed to safely and effectively work with renewable energy technologies, including solar PV and battery
Photovoltaic systems work by utilizing solar cells to convert sunlight into electricity. These solar cells are made up of semiconductor materials, such as silicon, that absorb photons from
The conversion of sunlight, made up of particles called photons, into electrical energy by a solar cell is called the "photovoltaic effect" - hence why we refer to solar cells as "photovoltaic", or PV
A photovoltaic (PV) cell, commonly called a solar cell, is a nonmechanical device that converts sunlight directly into electricity. Some PV cells can convert artificial light into electricity.
Participants in this comprehensive training course will gain a thorough understanding of solar PV technology, from basic principles to advanced installation and maintenance procedures.
