Install, test and maintain electrical and solar power systems.
Course overview
Electrical Installation with Solar PV
Kenya is building homes, businesses and industries faster than it can wire them, and solar is now part of almost every new installation. Solar PV technicians are licensed by EPRA, which makes proven competence a legal requirement, not a preference.
This diploma trains you in domestic and commercial electrical installation, inspection and testing, and the full solar PV workflow from sizing to commissioning. You work on live installations with our host employers from your first term.
You graduate with a national qualification, a record of supervised installations and the preparation you need to pursue an EPRA solar technician licence.
