- For the end users is important to have not only training but also posters and instructions for the operation of the systems to increase awareness.
Suggested Modules
While creating a new training material for the end user the next topics are suggested to be covered:
- Basic explanation of how the solar energy works
- Description of the main components of a Solar Home System (SHS)
- Solar module
- Battery
- Battery charge controller
- Inverter
- Loads
- Limitations of the SHS
- Operation of the system
- How to connect the loads
- Maintenance
- Cleaning the panels and the battery poles
- Troubleshooting
