This course is a training programme directed towards project developers of solar PV projects, where the focus will be on captive solar PV systems, usually developed for self-consumption, usually installed on rooftops (but not necessarily).
Note: This training programme will be delivered by local trainers in Uganda who will be selected to take part in a Train-the-Train-Programme including didactics and teaching methods.
Why attend:
The TtT training has two main objectives, one for each of the two categories of competences, namely didactical-methodological related competences and technological/technical-related competences, where the didactics-related competences can be applied to any other training programmes that may need to be conducted by the local trainers.
The objectives of the technological/technical related part of the TtT are to learn technical skills and know-how that form the basis for understanding the job duties and tasks of solar PV project developers as well technical, commercial/financial, and legal aspects of solar PV Systems.
The Programme highlights are:
- 5-half-day online training (12 to 16 participants)
- 5-day interactive training course (12 to 16 participants)
- 5-day pilot training that will be conducted by chosen trainers who were trained in the 5-day interactive
- training course
- In-depth training on technical, commercial/financial, and legal aspects of solar PV projects
- Group work, discussions, and case studies as well as Excel-based calculation tools related to the topic
