About this course
The Solar PV Maintenance Technician Course is a 36-hour practical training program.
It is designed to equip learners with the essential skills needed to inspect, troubleshoot, and maintain solar photovoltaic (PV) systems to ensure reliable performance and long-term efficiency. The course emphasizes hands-on field practices, safety procedures, and standard maintenance workflows used in residential, commercial, and small industrial solar installations.
Through structured modules, participants learn:
– Basics of solar energy, PV modules, and system components
– Routine inspection procedures for panels, structures, wiring, and inverters
– Cleaning methods, shading checks, and preventive maintenance schedules
– DC and AC fault identification, loose connections, and hotspot detection
– Use of maintenance tools: multimeter, clamp meter, IR thermometer, IV curve tester
– String testing, insulation resistance testing, and performance verification
– Common issues in grid-tied and off-grid systems and their rectification
– Safety standards, lockout–tagout (LOTO), and documentation practices
Hands-on activities include panel cleaning, string continuity checks, terminal tightening, inverter diagnostics, thermal inspections, and verifying system output against expected performance levels.
By the end of the program, participants are prepared to:
– perform preventive and corrective maintenance on solar PV systems,
– identify and rectify mechanical, electrical, and performance-related issues, and
– work as Solar PV Maintenance Technicians, O&M Assistants, or Field Service Technicians in solar operations and maintenance teams.
This course provides essential knowledge and practical training to build industry-relevant skills.
