Advanced Certificate in Rooftop Solar Professionals
The robust growth of the Indian solar rooftop market can be attributed to the government's initiative of installing 40GW of solar energy capacity by 2022. Building smart cities is also contributing to the growth of the market. The industry exhibited an increase in solar rooftop capacity addition from 38 MW in 2012 to 3855 MW in 2019, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of ~116% during the (2019-2024) period.
Institute of Solar Technology offering certificate in rooftop solar system course to equipped you a strong knowledge to understand of Basic concepts of Rooftop solar power plant, Efficient working at every stage of safety, designing, installation, pre-and post-commissioning, O&M, understand Certification & National level policies of Rooftop SPV plants.
TRAINING METHODOLOGY:
Live Interactive Classes::
IST Live Interactive Class, where students and teachers meet together at schedule class time with whiteboard, voice and live video, Lectures and Question answer occur at the same hour.
Our expert faculty members take session on each paper that is delivered through live sessions. These sessions are joined by students from India and Abroad. Trainers will discuss in each class session about Key concepts, whiteboard calculation, design, costing, documentation, case studies and real life examples. Students also get chance to clarify their doubts / academic clarifications. If by any chance you miss these live classes, don't worry, each class recorded sessions are uploaded in the IST E-Library/LMS.
Hands-on Practical
We know that only theoretical knowledge by online or virtual classes are not sufficient to get full expertise. An individual needs a practical exposure to flourish in a Job or business market.
So we offer practical session at IST Power plant after completion of live interactive online classroom session .In this approach a trainees can fulfill his/her knowledge in a very effective way and time.
We offer project-based blended learning experiences that promote academic and career success for Technical Education.

Rooftop solar projects, a good business opportunity
Businesses are shifting towards responsible conduct by incorporating sustainable development and reducing energy costs. "Grid connected rooftop solar power offers a major business opportunity" said Tarun Kapoor, Joint Secretary, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy on 21st Jan, 2022 said households are free to get rooftop solar panel installed by themselves or by any vendor of their choice and a photograph of the installed system for distribution utility is sufficient to avail benefits or subsidy under the government scheme.
Households free to install rooftop solar by any vendor under govt scheme - MNRE
The Discom will ensure that the net metering will be provided within 15 days.
