Possible Applications

Hiring tool:solar companies operating in region where it is challenging to find technically skilled employees can ask their candidates to complete the online modules before inviting them for an interview.

Time saver: the theoretical knowledge can be delivered through HelioLearn online blended learning formula allow also people with low tech background will be able to follow the modules.

Professional Development: PV technologies are continuously evolving.  Experts of basic Solar Home System can learn about mini grids, solar pumps or smart grid for their next career step.

Channel Partner Training Tool: solar companies can upload their own training materials and share it with partners and customers.

Customer sensibilization:  individuals curious of their rooftop system have the possibility to  discover the photovoltaic technology.
