Description
With the growing use of solar PV systems in homes and businesses, maintenance professionals increasingly encounter environments where these systems are present. Whether working directly on PV equipment or elsewhere on site, it is essential to understand the unique hazards they introduce.
PV systems operate at high DC voltages and currents and cannot be easily isolated. They may also include dual AC supplies, creating additional risks if not properly understood.
While highly reliable, PV systems benefit from routine inspection and maintenance to ensure optimal performance and maximum return on investment. Regular testing helps confirm systems are operating efficiently and safely.
This 1-day course provides the knowledge and practical skills required to work safely around PV systems, carry out testing and identify faults effectively.
