PV Systems Servicing: Advanced comprehends various diverse practical and visual skills with knowledge of specialized materials and techniques. A photovoltaic system, also solar PV power system, or PV system, is a power system designed to supply usable solar power by means of photovoltaics. It consists of an arrangement of several components, including solar panels to absorb and convert sunlight into electricity, a solar inverter to change the electric current from DC to AC, as well as mounting, cabling and other electrical accessories to set up a working system. In PV system, a manufacturing defect, physical damage, or component deterioration can lead to reduced output, loss of efficiency and localized hot-spots. This book will introduce the knowledge and skills for those studying and/or working in PV System industry to interpret and convey information in response to workplace requirements.

About the PV System Industry


Solar Photovoltaic Systems Technician are in charge of assembling, installing and maintaining solar photovoltaic systems on roofs or other structures in compliance with site assessment and schematics. PV System Maintenance Technician work in the manufacturing, construction, and maintenance of solar power materials and solar power plants. The tasks a PV System Maintenance Technician is expected to perform include: ensuring effective functioning of the installed solar panels; cleaning installed solar panels; checking solar Photovoltaic (PV) system for uninterrupted power output. Identifying faults in the PV system. Those with training program or journey electrician experience will also have very good job opportunities. Workers with experience in construction occupations, such as laborers, roofers, and carpenters will have better job opportunities than those without construction experience. Employment of PV technician fluctuates with the overall economy.
