Revision as of 08:31, 12 March 2012

The training material for the end users need to be simple, clear and graphic.

The objetive is to transmite direct mesages of how to operate the system, a good idea is to create a list of to do's and don't.


While creating a new training material for the end user the next topics are suggested to be covered:

  1. Basic explanation of how the solar energy works
  2. Description of the main components of a SHS
    • Solar module
    • Battery
    • Battery charge controller
    • Inverter
    • Loads
  3. Limitations of the SHS
  4. Operation of the system
  5. How to connect the loads
  6. Maintenance
    • Cleaning the panels and the battery poles
  7. Troubleshooting

For the end users is important to have not only training but also posters and instructions for the operation of the systems to increase awareness.

Bushlight have a nice example of a user manual.  In this case is a user manual for a hybrid system not only a solar system, its important to put atention to the format and design.


Examples

Name Author/Language Description
O&M of Solar PV systems EnDev UGANDA/English

Brochure: Simple and consice, very grafical.

It explains the working principle of the SHS, main components an intructions for the operation.
