GREEN Solar Academy Zimbabwe offers affordable beginner-friendly solar training designed to help you understand solar, build practical installation skills and progress step by step towards the GREEN Trifecta of Solar Training certificate through three carefully-selected courses.
Trifecta of Solar Training
The Trifecta of Solar Training is a beginner training pathway which combines three complementary courses that build your solar knowledge step by step, from understanding the basics to developing practical installation skills. Complete the 1-Day PV Solar Basics, PV Off-Grid Technician eLearning and 1-Day PV Mounter in that order to earn the GREEN Trifecta of Solar Training Certificate:
Step 1
1-Day PV Basics
Start your solar journey with a practical introduction to photovoltaic systems. Learn how solar works, understand the main system components, compare on-grid and off-grid solutions, and gain the confidence to take your next step into the solar industry. No technical background required.
Step 2
PV Off-Grid Technician
Learn the fundamentals of stand-alone solar systems at your own pace. This self-paced eLearning course covers off-grid system components, battery storage, system sizing and installation principles, making it the ideal next step after Solar Basics and before PV Mounter hands-on training.
Step 3
1-Day PV Mounter
Build practical installation skills by mounting and wiring a real PV system using professional tools and equipment. This course focuses on safe installation techniques, workmanship and on-site best practice, preparing you for entry-level work in the solar industry. NOTE: Completion of eLearning is a prerequisite.
