Calling all Solar PV installers: Training and assessment to become certified as PV GreenCard installers, at reduced rates of up to 100%.

Supported by the City of Cape Town, technicians and electricians who qualify will receive incentives of 75% (for men) and 100% (for women). The training takes five days, followed by a two-day competency assessment for the PV GreenCard.

A voluntary certification and industry-led quality label, the PV GreenCard provides assurance to an installer and their customers that systems are installed safely and to a very high standard.

In terms of eligibility, every DOL registered electrician qualifies for the incentive.

Electricians without DOL registration should ideally have some of the following qualifications or experience:

• Registered DoL Electrician (Trade test and Wiremans)
• Qualified Electrician (Trade test only)
• Electrical Training (Electrician NQF 4)
• Registered Electrical/Solar PV Contractor
• PV/Electrical installation experience (Portfolio of Evidence – Reference)
• Registered business
