The Arab British Fellowship Training Academy offers a course in photovoltaic installation, this training course studies its installation and equipping it with the necessary skills to identify the methods of installing and maintaining panels and studying the various factors produced by those panels, and studying different types of photovoltaic systems and their components And its methods such as: photovoltaic systems connected to the electrical grid within the grid, separated systems from the grid, water pump systems, and street lighting systems. You also learn about the effect of shade on types of batteries, grounding systems, types of inverter and batteries, types of charging regulators, grounding systems for their grounding, stability and life, and ways to install solar panels.

Knowledge and Benefits:

After completing the program, participants will be able to master the following:

• Learn the principles of design and operation of the various photovoltaic systems and carry out engineering calculations related to these systems.
• Provide participants with the basics and applications of photovoltaic systems, in addition to the science of photovoltaic and solar radiation.
• Knowledge of the environmental impact of non-renewable energy systems, global warming, and various alternative energy systems, in addition to identifying photon energy and solar radiation in space, on the Earth's surface, and on the horizontal and inclined surfaces.
• Experience in the methods of installing, operating and maintaining solar panels and studying the various factors that affect the productivity of these panels.
• Understand and study the different types of applications of photovoltaic systems in addition to their components and methods of connection, such as: On-Grid systems, Off-Grid systems, water pump systems, and street lighting systems.
• Experience in how to analyze and study maintenance procedures and periodic preventive maintenance requirements.
• Knowledge of the laws of installing solar systems and how to determine the price of the project and the ability to market it and convince the client.
• Provide the participant with the skill of managing design operations, quantity surveys, field supervision, and effective plans and strategies for operating the marketing and sales operations of the various photovoltaic systems.
