Off-grid Solar Training in Peru
with Light Up The World (LUTW) – September 26th – October 4th, 2015
Learn how to work with and install
basic off-grid solar photovoltaic
(PV) systems in rural Peru!
The off-grid training program provides the
distinct opportunity to learn about how to work
with solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in a
setting where hundreds of off-grid systems
have been deployed by LUTW. Participants will
take part in two training workshops, conduct
technical assessment visits to existing solar
home installations and also install a standalone solar PV system in a rural community
building.
By participating in this training program you
will learn how to design, install and
troubleshoot basic off-grid systems in the
Peruvian Andes. This program is ideal for other
non-profits looking to integrate solar into
existing projects in the field or individuals who
would just like to learn more so they can install
a basic off-grid system in their backyard.
The program is designed as an introduction to
working with basic off-grid solar PV systems,
so no previous experience is necessary. The
program is facilitated by LUTW staff. You’ll also
be learning from and working alongside the
community and local solar technicians. The
training program takes place in a region of Peru
where LUTW has been implementing off-grid
solar projects since 2011.
