Course overview
The solar PV installation industry is still active, and in spite of the reductions in the feed in
tariff, the outlook remains buoyant and is predicted to grow by 300% in the next 5 years.
City & Guilds 2399-11 solar PV course provides delegates with a high level of technical
expertise, plus “hands on” training in fitting real solar PV equipment. Total Electrical Training
