By training new technicians and entrepreneurs in the field of solar technology, the solar sector in Ethiopia becomes strengthened sustainably. 60 young adults are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to grow their small businesses with the support from HCO and the awareness campaigns. Additionally, this project, that trains new technicians, complements existing capacity-building efforts focused on solar PV education. HVTC signed a memorandum of understanding with Hawassa University Wondo Genet College of Forestry and Natural Resources to conduct short term trainings on installation and maintenance of solar energy technologies for 150 technicians from governmental energy offices and private enterprises. | By training new technicians and entrepreneurs in the field of solar technology, the solar sector in Ethiopia becomes strengthened sustainably. 60 young adults are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to grow their small businesses with the support from HCO and the awareness campaigns.

Strengthening Solar PV Education & Solar PV Popularization in Rural Villages of Ethiopia
Key Data
instruments, PV components or batteries. This also includes a 5kWp PV system, which ensures the power supply on the one hand and serves as a demonstration and training object on the other. HVTC also further develops its curricula and offers three different training programmes. Finally, additional trainers, technicians and management experts are hired. The project provides 60 unemployed young adults with technical and business skills and supports them to create their own business opportunities including product sales, installations, and servicing. Accordingly, the training programmes also improve the living conditions and awareness of the local population through the use of the technologies by equipping 46 social institutions with solar applications and creating a demonstration field with a solar water pump. These illustrate the productive use of solar technology for the trainees, resident smallholders and the general public. Finally, HCO informs more than 3,000 people about solar energy through campaigns.
