GWO Solar Safety Training / V1 02072025
• Inverters are essential for converting the direct current (DC) output from the PV panels into alternating current (AC), enabling grid integration.
• Inverters manage and optimise power conversion for the entire PV system, ensuring performance efficiency and reliability.
Mounting Systems •
Robust mounting systems securely hold PV panels at optimal angles and heights, facilitating maximum solar irradiance and ease of maintenance.
• Utility-scale installations typically employ tracking systems to rotate panels to optimise sunlight exposure.
Tracking Equipment •
Single-axis trackers rotate panels from east to west, while advanced dual-axis trackers provide even higher efficiency by aligning panels continuously with the sun’s trajectory throughout the day. • Site-specific conditions such as geography, soil type, and climate will influence the choice of tracking system. Ensuring a realistic training environment Providers should ensure training scenarios accurately mirror the scale, operational complexity, and logistical considerations involved in real-world utility-scale solar installation, assembly, and commissioning processes. This realistic training will better prepare participants for the competencies required in actual industry conditions.

To effectively replicate a utility-scale solar environment for training purposes, providers should include the following realistic elements:
•
Installation of panel mounting systems and securing of PV modules.
• Assembly and installation of electrical components including power cabling, solar PV connectors, panels and combiner boxes. • Performance of electrical connections ensuring adherence to safety standards and quality assurance. • Implementation of robust installation protocols, including conducting a full system installation inspection walk down.
