About this course
The Solar PV Troubleshooting Technician Course is a 36-hour practical training program.
It is designed to prepare learners to diagnose, analyze, and resolve electrical, mechanical, and performance-related issues in solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. The course emphasizes fault detection techniques, systematic troubleshooting approaches, and the use of diagnostic tools commonly applied across residential, commercial, and small industrial solar installations.
Through structured modules, participants learn:
– Overview of solar PV components and system operation
– Types of faults in PV systems (open circuits, short circuits, ground faults, hotspot formation, inverter errors)
– Step-by-step troubleshooting workflows for DC and AC sides
– Use of diagnostic tools: multimeter, clamp meter, insulation tester, thermal camera, IV curve tracer
– String-level and module-level fault identification
– Inverter fault codes, grid issues, and communication errors
– Detection of shading, mismatch, cable faults, and degradation
– Corrective actions, repair techniques, and best practices
– Safety guidelines, LOTO procedures, and reporting standards
Hands-on practice includes real-time fault simulation, checking voltage/current mismatches, identifying loose connections, interpreting inverter alarms, measuring insulation resistance, and verifying system restoration after corrective actions.
By the end of the program, participants are prepared to:
– troubleshoot common and complex issues in solar PV systems,
– perform systematic diagnostics using industry-standard test equipment, and
– work as Solar PV Troubleshooting Technicians, Field Support Technicians, or O&M Specialists in solar maintenance and service teams.
This course provides essential knowledge and practical training to build industry-relevant skills.
