Overview
Local technicians need to be trained at different levels, the tasks they need to be able to do after the training is to install the system and assist the user to repair the system when a problem arisses.
This article is divided in 2 parts, at the beginning it present ideas to prepare a technical solar training and then it shows examples of existing trainings.
Tips to Prepare a Trainning
Deppending on the targget group the trainning can be desing more technical and specialized.
It is important to have a clear objevtive of what

Training Offers
This are some examples of existing trainings in the market. The taregget group, location and price are very diverse.
- Barefoot college, focus exclusively on training illiterate or semi-literate middle aged women, who are mothers and grandmothers between 35 and 60, from villages all over the world.
- Solar energy international, offers solar electric and solar thermal curses in English and Spanish.
- Renewables Academy, Renac. offers open trainnings, tailormade trainings and online trainning in German, English and Spanish.
- Solar trainning institute, from basic to advanced courses for the desing and instalation of PV systems.
