Hands-on fundamentals for installing photovoltaic panels on roofs, ground mounts and carports, from site layout and racking to string wiring, safe work at height and handover.
Who this course is for
New solar laborers, roofers and general construction workers moving into solar installation, and apprentices who want the full install sequence before their first season.
What you’ll be able to do
- Read a PV plan set and lay out an array to the drawings
- Install roof, ground-mount and carport racking to manufacturer instructions
- Handle, mount and string modules safely
- Follow fall-protection and electrical safety practice on a live job
- Use VR and mixed-reality tools to preview, simulate, assemble and verify an install
Course curriculum
Module 1: Solar jobs, crews and the install sequence
Learn how a residential or small commercial solar job moves from sale to permission to operate, who is on the crew, and where the installer fits.
Module 2: Site layout and array planning
Turn the drawing into chalk lines.
Module 3: Racking, attachments and flashing
The attachment is where most leaks and structural failures start.
Module 4: Module handling, mounting and grounding
Modules are fragile, heavy and awkward at height.
Module 5: String wiring, wire management and safety
PV modules produce voltage whenever light hits them.
Module 6: VR and mixed reality: preview, simulate, assemble and verify
How techs use VR headsets, spatial computing headsets and mixed-reality smart glasses to preview, simulate, assemble and verify installations and repairs.
