About this book

The theory textbook for the QCTO National Occupational Certificate: Solar Photovoltaic Standalone System Installer (NQF Level 4, SAQA ID 120883). Thirteen chapters covering all eight knowledge modules (85 credits) at every assessment criterion: workplace fundamentals and safety; tools, equipment, marking off, soldering, riveting and lifting; electricity, magnetism, electronics, PLCs and measuring instruments; wire ways, wiring and earthing systems; supply systems and transformers; protection systems and lightning protection; renewable energy and energy policy; and the components of PV systems — modules, cells, inverters, batteries and charge controllers. Three supporting chapters on power conditioning, designing and sizing stand-alone systems, and maintenance and testing prepare for all four exit level outcomes of the external assessment. 68 figures, worked examples and practice problems with answers, plus 294 Exam prep questions covering every criterion.
