TRAINING DAY5

 Entrepreneurship and Solar

Prerequisites:
A basic knowledge of O’Level Physics,
electricity or experience of renewable
energy is an advantage.
A basic knowledge of electrical engineering
will represent an advantage, but it is not
compulsory for the participation to the
course.
TRAINING DAY1
 Introduction to Renewable Energy
and Solar Technology: Types of
Solar Panels, Learn different types of
Charge controllers: MPPT and PW
charge controllers, their applications
and installation. Cables and Cable
Lugs.
 Inverter Systems: Inverter Types,
Features & Technical Specifications
 Batteries: Battery Types: Deep Cycle
Batteries, Engine Start Batteries,
Sealed Lead Acid Batteries
 Tools and Equipment used for
Solar & Inverters: Tools and
Installation (2)
 Project: You'll be given a load
requirement for a household Solar
Inverter need. You'll be required to
estimate capacity of Inverter, Battery
capacity and the number of Solar
panels of particular power rating for
the job. You would now implement it
in the training Lab. This would be
done under close supervision.
 Inverter Business Class: How to set-
up a Solar inverter Business, writing
your proposals, Marketing Strategies,
sourcing authentic products, after
sales services etc.
 REVIEW OF TRAINING: General
review of entire training.
 PRESENTATION OF
CERTIFICATES.
