PV Mounter
Get job-ready by learning how to mount solar systems properly. PV Mounter is a two-day, hands-on installation course for newcomers and company teams who want practical skills to install safely, efficiently, and to a professional standard.
Description
Knowing how solar works is one thing. Being able to install it safely, correctly, and efficiently is what gets you work.
PV Mounter is a fully practical two-day course where you plan, install, wire and commission a real PV system from start to finish. You'll work across different roof types, handle real components, and leave with the kind of hands-on experience that employers and project managers actually look for.
This course is a strong standalone option for job seekers and entry-level installers. It also works well as a practical complement to SuperSolarSchool. If you've completed SuperSolarSchool and want to reinforce the installation side, PV Mounter gives you exactly that.
