Our Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Technology program will introduce you to one of the fastest growing construction industries. This hands-on program is delivered in a short-term format with no prior experience necessary.

Solar PV technology is an increasingly growing industry that converts sunlight into electricity, which is commercially utilized for electricity generation. The course is broken down into topics including: photovoltaic systems, solar radiation, site surveys, permitting and inspection, system components and configurations, batteries, charge controllers and utility interconnection, inverters, system sizing, mechanical and electrical integration, maintenance, troubleshooting and economic analysis.

You’ll also learn about design and installation of PV systems, as well as other clean and renewable energy production systems and energy modeling software. Upon completion, you will be certified to work in the solar industry with hands-on applications.
