Systems Installation

Course
This cour se was
developed together
with the Ministry of
Human Resources,
relevant renewable
energ y training
centres, TNB, and
the PV industry through Malaysian Photovoltaic
Industry Association (MPIA) to fill the gap and
build up the local competencies in solar PV,
focusing on installation and basic maintenance
requirements of a PV system. This is to ensure
that PV installations in Malaysia are constructed
and maintained by trained and competent workers
to achieve good quality and safety standards.
The training is open to anyone with a minimum
of a SPM certificate. The full course requires
two months theory/classroom lectures including
exams and practical, and two months industrial
training with PV service providers in collaboration
with MPIA. SEDA is planning to make it mandatory
for PV service providers to have a minimum
number of these certificate holders in their employ
for them to register with SEDA to participate in the
FiT scheme.
Since 2014, Akademi Binaan Malaysia (ABM)
Wilayah Utara and Selangor Human Resource
Development Centre (SHRDC) are the only centres
appointed to conduct this course. SEDA is looking
for many more training centres to meet the big
demand for this training. As of to-date, the number
of persons trained and qualified are shown in
Table 3.
