Solar Ongrid Design & Installation
A hands-on, industry-aligned program for anyone who wants to design, install, and commission grid-connected solar PV systems — whether you're building a career as an installer or technician, or laying the groundwork for your own solar business.
[ Add image caption here ]
India's rooftop and utility-scale solar capacity is expanding faster than the supply of trained installers, design engineers, and EPC professionals to build it. On-grid systems — the most commonly installed type of solar system in urban and semi-urban India — sit at the center of that demand. The Solar Ongrid Design & Installation program is IISE's flagship, hands-on course for anyone who wants to design, install, commission, and maintain grid-connected solar PV systems, or use these skills as the foundation of their own solar business.
Who Should Enroll
💼 Job Seeker
You want to get hired as a solar design engineer or site engineer at an EPC company, OEM, or installer.
🔧 Installer / Technician
You want practical, on-site installation and commissioning skills you can put to work immediately.
💰 Entrepreneur
You want to start your own solar installation business. If you'd rather skip the technical depth and focus purely on the business side, our Solar Entrepreneurship Development Program may be a better fit.
Curriculum — 12 Modules, 320+ Hours
Foundation of Solar Energy
Understand solar radiation, irradiance, and the photovoltaic effect — how sunlight becomes usable electricity. Covers solar geometry, peak sun hours, and India's solar resource map, the foundation every installer and entrepreneur needs before going further.
Solar Components
A deep dive into PV modules, string and hybrid inverters, mounting structures, junction boxes, and balance-of-system components. Learn to read datasheets and select the right components for a given site.
Electrical Engineering for PV
DC and AC circuit design, string sizing, cable selection, earthing, lightning protection, and protection devices (MCBs, SPDs, fuses) as per electrical safety codes.
Mechanical Design
Structural load calculations, wind and snow load considerations, roof types (RCC, metal, ground-mount), and mounting structure design for long-term durability.
Solar Design Software
Hands-on training on industry-standard design and simulation tools — shading analysis, energy yield estimation, and single-line diagram generation.
Installation Practices
On-site, hands-on training covering module mounting, wiring, cable management, and rooftop safety protocols — the practical core of the program.
Commissioning & Grid Integration
Net-metering procedures, DISCOM approvals, grid synchronization, and the final commissioning checklist for on-grid systems.
Testing & Quality Assurance
Performance testing, thermal imaging for fault detection, insulation resistance testing, and quality checklists aligned with industry standards.
O&M and Troubleshooting
Preventive maintenance schedules, common fault diagnosis, performance monitoring, and troubleshooting techniques to maximize system lifetime output.
Project Management & EPC
Project planning, vendor and material procurement, EPC contract basics, timelines, and site execution management for solar projects.
Business & Entrepreneurship
Pricing a solar installation, building client proposals, understanding subsidy schemes like PM Surya Ghar, and the basics of running a solar installation business. Pairs well with our Solar Entrepreneurship Development Program if you want to go deeper on the business side.
Industry Capstone ProjectCapstone
