Solar PV is a growing industry. Billions of dollars are being spent in the country. Solar PV technologies have been growing in terms of performance. PV Module and battery prices are falling down, as a result, the use of solar PV electricity coupled with battery-based storage has become an economically viable alternative to grid-based electricity in both urban as well as rural areas. MP Urja Vikas Nigam, Rajiv Gandhi Prodhyogiki Visvavidyalay (RGPV), National Centre for Photovoltaic Research and Education (NCPRE) together with the Energy Swaraj Foundation is organizing a 6-day - Solar Off-grid Entrepreneurs Hands-on Training for young and enthusiastic aspirant entrepreneurs across the country. The training will be delivered by the Professor of IIT Bombay, Founder of Energy Swaraj Foundation, and Brand Ambassador of Solar Energy in Madhya Pradesh, Professor Chetan Singh Solanki. The training will provide theoretical concepts of solar PV technology and system design but mainly focuses on hands-on experiments of the installation of the solar PV system. At the end of the training, the participants would be able to independently design and install off-grid roof-top solar PV systems.
