Technical Track

The Solar Technical Track consist of three levels: basic, intermediate and advanced. At each level, we have different courses according to that level.

Basic Course

Six Advantages of Online Solar Training

1.

You can learn from anywhere, anytime. The only thing you need is an internet connection to:

  • Download the training material or
  • Participate in the live online training provided by the institution you chose.

2.

With web-based training, which means online training with pre-recorded videos, slideshows, learning materials and quizzes, you can learn at your own pace. For example, you have a busy week but each Saturday you take the time to learn for 1 or 2 hours. A web-based Solar Online Training will make that possible.

3.

We made the learning content as exciting and interesting as possible. New forms of videos, quizzes, and exercises will energize you and help you through a course of 10 or more hours of learning.

4.

Saving costs and time: you don´t have to travel to a training institution, so you will be saving money for flights, buses, trains, cars and hotels to participate in 3 or more days long course. We think this is the best part because it is good for your purse as well as it is for the environment. Win-win with solar online training!

5.

Meet experts and get in touch with them directly because they can also dial in from wherever they are. So, you could meet an expert, that has more than 30 years of experience in the Solar Industry, who had installed many solar systems (off-grid and on-grid) up to megawatt size and he or she will be there to coach you and share their knowledge with you.

6.

Networking: Join a network of like-minded individuals for advice, shared experiences, and support each other on the way to grow, and either start your career or start your own solar business. Become part of the Maxx-solar Academy alumni network. We offer events where manufacturers or other experts from the industry join and share the latest news from the industry as well as job offers.
