PV – or Photovoltaic training is an important aspect of solar powered energy resources training. This is because this type of solar energy is what actually produces electricity. Solar power energy has been in development for a long time now. However a surprising amount of contractors still do not offer this form of energy installation. Some feel it is not dependable enough and therefore too complicated to install. Had these people taken a PV training course they would realize it is no more difficult to install a PV system than a normal system. Add to that the benefit of being a member of the elite club that offers these types of services and the output is well worth the investment.

While many people have known about alternate forms of energy for many years, it has only recently become a popular method of energy. This is due greatly to the ever increasing green movement across the globe. Add to that the instability of most countries economic standing – which leads to the desire to cut back on one’s bills – and you have the perfect recipe for solar energy services.

There are many ways to receive your PV training. If you have the time and a flexible work schedule taking the required classes at an on campus university would probably be ideal for you. Many people in the construction field learn easier when they can actually walk through the process. That being said an on campus program also has its disadvantages. PV training is still rare enough that not many universities offer the program by itself and those that do may have strict scheduling issues. This means that chances are they won’t have a wide variety of class times and your work schedule would have to be very flexible to work around the different courses required for your certification.

Luckily technology has come to the rescue for those of us who don’t have lives that allow the type of flexibility needed to attend normal college classes. Mail order and internet universities have steadily grown in popularity as more and more employees find their jobs on shaky ground. Many of us can’t afford to take the time off from work to learn a new skill, regardless of whether we recognize the need to do so or not. That is where mail order and internet schools step in to make it a little easier.

If you choose to receive your PV training through a mail order certification program the school would supply you with everything you need to prepare you for your certifications or an apprenticeship. This includes any books, tests, study materials and lab materials you may need to get a full grasp on the subject matter. You would be required to submit any completed school assignments and tests to them through the mail, or attend a locally proctored exam in order to receive your certification through them.

The internet works on the same basic principle with the minor exception of assignment completion. You may also be required to attend a ‘digital class’ when attending an online university.
