Objective

The Solar Installer Training Programs, offered at Fazisi College in Poti and Aisi College in Kakheti, are designed to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to design, install, and operate solar power systems. These hands-on courses aim to prepare a skilled workforce in the growing renewable energy sector in Georgia, focusing on practical training that directly aligns with market needs.

Importance

As Georgia and the wider region transition to renewable energy, there is a significant demand for skilled solar installers. These training programs address that need by providing in-depth education on solar energy systems, from basic theory to complex installations. The courses offer valuable real-world experience through practical lessons and the installation of actual solar systems, giving students the tools to succeed in the solar energy industry.

The success of these programs contributes directly to Georgia’s clean energy future, supporting both the national energy transition and the creation of green jobs. By empowering local communities with these skills, the program also helps reduce energy costs and promotes energy independence.

The Solar Installer Training Programs align with the broader ENABLING PV initiative, aiming to expand renewable energy education and encourage the development of sustainable energy solutions in Georgia and the Caucasus.

Involvement of Solar Universities

Solar Universities plays an integral role in these programs, working closely with EUROSOLAR Georgia, Innovation Energy LLC, and the Eberhard Schöck Foundation to develop and implement high-quality training. By collaborating with local educational institutions like Fazisi College and Aisi College, Solar Universities ensures that the programs are tailored to meet the region’s needs, offering both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience.

Specialized training stands are provided, giving students the opportunity to practice installing solar panels on-site. This allows them to gain practical skills, ensuring they are well-prepared for the renewable energy job market. The involvement of leading experts from various sectors of the solar industry also enhances the learning experience, providing students with access to cutting-edge knowledge and industry best practices.

These programs not only help students become proficient in solar technology but also contribute to creating a network of highly skilled professionals who can support the energy transition in Georgia and beyond.
