Training Programme on Solar Photovoltaic Systems

TERI organized a three-days training programme on 'Quality Assurance of Solar Photovoltaic Systems' for officials from Afghanistan from November 18 to 20, 2015 at TERI University Campus. The key objective of the training programme was to impart both theoretical and practical training to professionals and officials to verify the pre- and post-installation quality checks conducted for off-grid and on-grid solar photovoltaic systems. Specific quality assurance strategies and in-depth understanding of test methodology was shared during the event.

A total of 15 officials came from Afghanistan under the MoU signed between GIZ and IT Power. The programme covered detailed operations of test equipment, implementation of test methods, and delivery of quality report to improve the compliance of local manufacturers and importers of solar photovoltaic systems. A site visit was also organized to TERI's Solar Lighting Laboratory, and a 48 KWp solar rooftop plant was used for demonstration and hands-on practical.
