Solar Power Projector Training - Online

Glava Energy Center's solar power projector training is a three-day online course conducted via Zoom for those who want to become better projectors of solar power installations. The course provides increased competence in designing a solar panel system with optimal functionality, safe operation, good economics, and satisfied customers.

There is a great and growing interest in installing solar panels. During 2023, over 100,000 grid-connected solar power installations were installed in Sweden. A total of 1,600 megawatts were installed, double the amount compared to 2022. 

There is a significant shortage of projectors with knowledge of solar energy installation best practices and applicable regulations. The industry is new, and companies need to ensure high quality in the design phase for continued positive development.

Glava Energy Center's solar power projector training enhances confidence for those involved in designing solar panel systems through knowledge of legal aspects, product knowledge, systems science, and economics.
