  SOLAR PV SECTOR JOB OPPORTUNITIES

A multitude of skilled workers across the solar project value chain are needed to achieve India’s targeted 100 GW of solar by 2022. New CEEW and NRDC analysis of the jobs created in the solar PV sector along with the related skills required in every phase of a solar project, estimates that India would need nearly 210,800 skilled plant design and site engineers and approximately 624,600 semi and low skilled Technicians for construction, most of whom would be needed to achieve the targeted 40 GW rooftop solar capacity addition. As many as 81,000 highly skilled workers would be needed by 2022 to carry out annual and ongoing performance data monitoring of solar projects totalling 100 GW. An additional 182,400 workers would be needed by 2022 to carry out low-skill operation and maintenance functions for the numerous solar rooftop and utility scale projects.

 While most survey respondents agreed on the essential role of site engineers and project managers, several respondents also highlighted the key role played by unskilled or semi-skilled personnel, such as installers, security personnel, administrative support staff, construction labor and drivers.

 According to the present employment opportunities and the employer enquiries for recruitment, generally it has been observed that an employer wants a full sound technological and management skills to run company for its well establishment. As per recent employment notice, employers require the following skills:

  • The Candidates Should Have Knowledge Of Off Grid And On Grid Solar Systems

By looking over this pie chart one can understand the scope of solar energy sector in upcoming days. As per the government of India 100GW solar energy target to fulfil the energy gap and energy security, lakhs of manpower are needed to achieve this target. In order to fulfil this manpower gap Institute of Solar Technology plays a major role.

Institute of solar Technology Advisory Management board has decided and splitted the course curriculum in order to fulfil the manpower requirement in solar energy sector with fully hands on practical and interactive classroom environment.

As per the IST Team survey report, 72% semi-skilled man powers are required, to achieve the 100GW solar energy target which belongs from the field of 10+2 & ITI. Thus you can understand the future prospects in solar energy sector. By keeping this overview IST has prepared course for the students as ADVANCE CERTIFICATE IN PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM INSTALLER, where students will learn ,Assessing the installation site job, understanding the principle of PV system, handling installation tools & equipments, understanding functions & process of installation materials, mounting and installing the panels at customer's premises as per design & specification, and ensuring effective functioning of solar energy system after installation.

Whereas 19% manpower is needed in the field of Design & Pre-Construction, Construction & Comissioning, for Diploma & B.Tech (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation) and M.tech, for graping this projection IST has prepared the course ADVANCE CERTIFICATE IN PV TECHNICIAN/ENGINEERING where one can learn ,to assess the installation site job, understanding the principle of PV system, handling installation tools & equipment, understanding functions & process of installation materials, mounting and installing the panels at customer's premises as per design & specification, and ensuring effective functioning of solar energy system after installation.

Planing of solar PV system. Support for Rooftop PV System Installation of Solar Power Plant Complete Solution Off-grid Solar Systems Solar off-grid systems are installed on stand alone basis without any support from utility grid. They use batteries as storage devices of electricity that gets charged during the day and meets electricity needs during night. This way these systems ensure a 24 hour power supply. Hybrid Systems Solar hybrid systems couple the Solar PV modules with other power producing sources in order to increase the total output and reduce the cost involve and offer more reliable solutions. The most common of these are solar and diesel hybrid & solar and wind hybrid systems.

Solar Energy Industry in India & Its Future Prospects

Image
PV Solar System Installer training programme - March 2015 at IST The Indian solar energy sector has been growing rapidly, in the past few years, majorly due to Government’s initiatives such as tax exemptions and subsidies. Due to technical potential of 5,000 trillion kWh per year and minimum operating cost, Solar Power is considered the best suited energy source for India. Much of the country does not have an electrical grid, so solar power will indeed be a boon for water pumping, to begin replacing India's four to five million diesel powered water pumps, each consuming about 3.5 kilowatt of off-grid lighting. Solar energy technology consists of solar thermal technologies, which utilize sun’s energy and solar photovoltaic technology, which convert solar energy directly into electricity. India has been ranked 7th worldwide for solar photovoltaic (PV) cell production and secure 9th rank in solar thermal power generation. This capacity is growing rapidly due to the e

Institute of Solar Technology has been established by "Global Advanced Training & Educational Trust". IST is an academic and research-oriented self project that has worked in partnership with companies, women's organizations, community development associations and sociological research institutes. Join with us and build Sustainable Community. NGOs have shown leadership in promoting sustainable community development. Due to their particular ideology and nature, NGOs are good at reaching out to the poor and remote communities and mobilizing these populations. They can also empower these populations to regain control of their lives and can work with and strengthen local organizations. In addition, such NGOs can carry out projects more efficiently and at lower costs than government agencies and, most importantly, promote sustainable development. The five dimensions of sustainable community development are as follows: Increasing local economic diversity Self

IST-Magazine India Sets Year-on-Year Targets to Reach Ambitious 2022 Solar Goal

India Sets Year-on-Year Targets to Reach Ambitious 2022 Solar Goal In 2014, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a goal to  increase solar power      capacity to 100 Giga watts (GW) by 2022 —five times higher than the previous target. The 2022 target is extremely ambitious (the world’s total        installed solar power capacity was  181 GW in 2014 ) and would make India a global leader in renewable energy. Moreover, Piyush Goyal,   India’s Minister of State (IC) for Power, Coal and New & Renewable Energy, recently said that  India aims to achieve its 100 GW solar target as early as the end of 2017. India’s total installed solar power capacity stands at  5.8 GW , so the country will need to significantly ramp up the pace of solar capacity additions, from an average 4 GW per year to 15+ GW per year to meet the 2022 target.  Critics have been skeptical, citing hurdles like poor  transmission infrastructure and lack of  access to finance . Yet recent signs show t

IST-Magazine Solar Energy Applications for Agriculture in India

Image
Booming Solar Energy Market in INDIA IST E-Magazine | December, 2016 Estimates for total number of farmers in India, for 2011, accordingly range from 95.8 million (8%) to 263 million (22%) to 450 million (38%), out of a total population of over 1.2 billion. Others estimate the total number of farmers in India to be about 600 million (50% of total population). India should stop doing all other solar and just focus on giving farmers a solution for their needs. Solar power technology would be a reasonable choice for agricultural tools. Solar Photovoltaic cells (SPV) directly convert the light energy from the sun into electricity. Concentrated solar power (CSP) systems use an indirect method for the conversion process. Solar farming uses power generated from solar energy to operate agricultural or farming tools. It is simple, cost effective, reliable and long lasting. Most common agricultural tools such as tractors, watering
