Why solar matters now
Nigeria’s power problem isn’t going away. Households, small businesses, schools, and clinics are turning to solar. And they need installers who actually know what they’re doing. Badly-installed systems fail within months. Well-installed systems run for 20 years. This course teaches you to build the second kind.
This course is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to design, install, maintain, and troubleshoot solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. This course covers the principles of solar energy, the components of solar PV systems, installation procedures, safety protocols, and maintenance practices. Students will gain hands-on experience with solar panel installation, electrical wiring, system sizing, and performance optimization, preparing them for a career in the growing field of solar energy.
What you'll learn
Understand the fundamental principles of solar energy and photovoltaic technology.
Learn about the different types of solar PV systems and their components.
Develop skills in designing and sizing solar PV systems for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Gain proficiency in the installation and wiring of solar panels, inverters, batteries, and other system components.
Understand safety procedures, industry standards, and regulations related to solar installations.
Understand the concept of wind turbine and apply it in places where needed.
What you'll cover, week by week.
Solar radiation, photovoltaic effect, energy conversion principles, system types (grid-tied, off-grid, hybrid).
What you'll work with.
- Solar panels (mono and polycrystalline). Multiple wattages
- String and hybrid inverters
- Deep-cycle lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries
- Charge controllers (MPPT and PWM)
- Multimeters, clamp meters, solar irradiance meters
- Mounting structures, MC4 connectors, DC and AC breakers
- Safety equipment. Gloves, harnesses, helmets
Where graduates end up.
After this course, graduates typically work as:
- Independent solar installers. Taking residential and small commercial jobs
- Solar technicians at established renewable energy companies
- Technical leads for inverter and battery suppliers
- Maintenance specialists for installed systems
- Some graduates combine solar with the Electrical Engineering course to offer broader services
