Certified Photovoltaic Practitioner 

The Certified Photovoltaic Practitioner (CCP) program is designed for those individuals wanting to get into the high-growth solar energy industry. The program provides basic knowledge comprehension and application of photovoltaic (solar electric) system operations.

The CCP certificate prepares the student to pass the NABCEP Entry Level Certificate exam.

The NABCEP Entry Level Certificate of Knowledge exam is based on a set of learning objectives developed by a NABCEP Committee of PV subject matter experts.

 Photovoltaic Energy Practitioners design and install solar panels on buildings. It’s a highly technical process that involves a careful consideration of location and angles. The solar installer is also responsible for making sure the panels are properly connected to the building’s electrical system and any “smart” two-way metering systems (which allow customers to get paid for surplus energy they generate) that may be present. 

The Learning Objectives include ten (10) skill sets: 

·         PV Markets and Applications

·         Safety Basics

·         Electricity Basics

·         Solar Energy Fundamentals

·         PV Module Fundamentals

·         System Components

·         PV System Sizing

·         PV System Electrical Design

·         PV System Mechanical Design

·         Performance Analysis and Troubleshooting

 

Date:                September 5- October 24, 2009

Location:           California Institute of Nanotechnology
                        1290 Parkmoor Avenue
                        San Jose, CA 95126
