How do they match: Solar Photovoltaic Installers

  • Solar Power Installer
  • Solar Electric Installer
  • Solar Electric Practitioner

  • Assemble, install, or maintain solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on roofs or other structures in compliance with site assessment and schematics. May include measuring, cutting, assembling, and bolting structural framing and solar modules. May perform minor electrical work such as current checks.

  • Check electrical installation for proper wiring, polarity, grounding, or integrity of terminations.
  • Determine connection interfaces for additional subpanels or for connecting photovoltaic (PV) systems with utility services or other power generation sources.
  • Examine designs to determine current requirements for all parts of the photovoltaic (PV) system electrical circuit.
  • Identify electrical, environmental, and safety hazards associated with photovoltaic (PV) installations.
  • Identify methods for laying out, orienting, and mounting modules or arrays to ensure efficient installation, electrical configuration, or system maintenance.
  • Perform routine photovoltaic (PV) system maintenance on modules, arrays, batteries, power conditioning equipment, safety systems, structural systems, weather sealing, or balance of systems equipment.
  • Test operating voltages to ensure operation within acceptable limits for power conditioning equipment, such as inverters and controllers.

  • Inspect electrical or electronic systems for defects.
  • Install electrical components, equipment, or systems.
  • Test electrical equipment or systems to ensure proper functioning.
