Certified Photovoltaic Practitioner

The Certified Photovoltaic Practitioner (CCP) program is designed for those individuals wanting to get into the high-growth solar energy industry. The program provides basic knowledge comprehension and application of photovoltaic (solar electric) system operations.

The CCP certificate prepares the student to pass the NABCEP Entry Level Certificate exam.

The NABCEP Entry Level Certificate of Knowledge exam is based on a set of learning objectives developed by a NABCEP Committee of PV subject matter experts.

 Photovoltaic Energy Practitioners design and install solar panels on buildings. It’s a highly technical process that involves a careful consideration of location and angles. The solar installer is also responsible for making sure the panels are properly connected to the building’s electrical system and any “smart” two-way metering systems (which allow customers to get paid for surplus energy they generate) that may be present.

The Learning Objectives include ten (10) skill sets:

  • PV Markets and Applications
  • Safety Basics
  • Electricity Basics
  • Solar Energy Fundamentals
  • PV Module Fundamentals
  • System Components
  • PV System Sizing
  • PV System Electrical Design
  • PV System Mechanical Design
  • Performance Analysis and Troubleshooting

Apprenticeship in Nanotech & Clean Tech- Paid on the Job Training

The Apprenticeship in Nanotechnology & Clean Technology will be offered in summer 2009 at our training facility in San Jose.

This intensive program is designed to train a select number of college graduates for technician jobs in the high growth industries of nanotechnology and clean technology. The first phase of the Apprenticeship program is 8 weeks of formal classroom style learning at our San Jose location to equip you with basic scientific principles and hands on training with a Scanning Electron Microscope.  Upon completion of the classes, we will setup placement in an one year paid on the job training with one of our partnering Silicon Valley Nanotech or Clean tech companies. 

In addition to classroom learning and group project research assignment, students are expected to participate in industry seminars which will be held on Thursdays at 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM.

Contact hours: 20 hours per week over 8 weeks with a total of 160 contact hours including lectures, research assignment, group discussion, and lab work on learning how to use a Scanning Electron Microscope and lab techniques in micro-nano fabrication.

Prerequisite: a 4 year degree (Bachelor of Sciences or Engineering).
