    We are still in terms of preparing the facilities but will be able to present a completely new training roof and workshop area soon. We can’t wait to welcome the first solar training particpants in March and to share some more pictures.

    On 9-13th March we will offer the SuperSolarSchool in Cape Town, our famous comprehensive 5-day training, at the new venue. It is a SAPVIA endorsed training for PV GreenCard installers. After the course you will know the basics of solar energy, how it works and how PV systems can look like, what components are needed and how to select them. Also, practical installation is part of the training. We are using Candian Solar Modules and Fronius and Victron inverters with MD Solar batteries to simulate real client installations.

    In order to guarantee 100% independence, we have outsourced the training programme from maxx-solar and founded the GREEN Solar Academy PTY Ltd. The maxx-solar energy PTY Ltd, as a subsidiary of maxx-solar Germany, will soon surprise with new, interesting business models.

    You will hear more from about GREEN on our (usual) social media channels and via email, but if you have already any questions regarding the transition, please let us know.

    GREEN Solar Academy is an independent, 100% women-led training institute that continues the work of the maxx-solar academy from 1st January 2020.

    Antje and Vivian, the two GREEN directors are looking forward to all upcoming activities and would like to thank all customers for their trust!
