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
