Classroom Training

WHY ATTEND OUR CLASSROOM TRAINING?

Municipalities have a vital role to play when it comes to the approval, integration and management of solar PV systems on their networks. The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), South African Local Government Association (SALGA) and other institutions made it possible to assist and equip municipal officials to help achieve the latter by initiating and sponsoring a specialised technical training for municipal officials in South Africa.

Dates for upcoming training sessions will be announced on this site when they are confirmed. In the interim, training material from previous sessions are available freely for your viewing and download.
