Solar PV and BESS Operations & Maintenance Tech 1 Training
With funding from the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office, Amicus O&M Cooperative has created this new training specifically for Solar PV and BESS Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Technicians. For the first time ever, the industry has coalesced around a consensus document to define a four-level technician framework for professional advancement, along with the competencies a company can evaluate in order to “graduate” to the next level. This consensus is captured in the new Solar Energy Industries Association SEIA 301: Solar PV and BESS Operations and Maintenance Standard – Technician Training. This online training program is geared toward entry-level O&M technicians (Tech 1), and it contains 24 units that cover core skills that any O&M technician would need, regardless of the size of the systems you’re working on. Additionally, there are seven (7) units at the end that address specific considerations for residential and C&I sites, utility sites, and battery energy storage systems. Course Contents 1. Foundations 2. On-Site Safety 3. Basic Electrical Theory 4. PV Fundamentals 5. PV System Operation 6. Plan set, Schematics, and Diagrams 7. Meter & Tool Selection, Use, and Safety 8. Intro to O&M 9. O&M Tasks 10. Meteorological and Data Acquisition Systems 11. Creating Good Documentation 12. Market-Segment Specific Considerations (focused on different system scales like residential, C&I, utility, and BESS)Read the Certification Handbook to figure out how many training hours you need to qualify for a NABCEP Exam.
