Empowering the B40 Community with PJ UP

A Journey Towards Solar Energy Mastery

Verdant Solar embarked on a partnership with the PJUP TVET Program that has brought solar energy training and practical experience to individuals from the B40 community. This initiative aimed to equip participants with the skills needed to thrive in the growing field of solar energy while fostering a sustainable future. Over the course of several weeks, our trainees embarked on a comprehensive program that covered everything from foundational knowledge to hands-on installation experience. Here’s a breakdown of the program that led to their success.

Theory Class

The program kicked off with a solid foundation in solar energy principles. Participants attended theory classes that covered the basics of solar energy, photovoltaic (PV) systems, and the technical aspects of solar installations. This stage was crucial in providing the necessary theoretical understanding that would later be applied in practical scenarios.

Training Day

The program kicked off with a solid foundation in solar energy principles. Participants attended theory classes that covered the basics of solar energy, photovoltaic (PV) systems, and the technical aspects of solar installations. This stage was crucial in providing the necessary theoretical understanding that would later be applied in practical scenarios.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting Techniques

As part of their training, participants were also taught how to maintain PV systems and troubleshoot common issues. This stage was designed to ensure that they could not only install but also maintain solar systems, providing long-term value to the communities they would serve.

Practical Site Day

The highlight of the program was the practical site day, where trainees applied their skills in a real-world setting. They participated in actual solar site installations, working alongside experienced professionals. This day was instrumental in solidifying their understanding and enhancing their practical skills, making them well-prepared for future projects.

Exam Day

After completing the training, participants took a solar energy examination to assess their knowledge and skills. The exam was a culmination of all they had learned throughout the program, and we are proud to report that our trainees passed with flying colors, demonstrating their readiness to contribute to the solar energy sector.

Closing Ceremony

The program concluded with a celebratory closing ceremony, where we recognized the hard work and achievements of our participants. It was a moment of pride as we watched our B40 trainees, now graduates, receive their certificates and prepare to embark on their careers in solar energy. Notably, two trainees have transitioned into roles as our solar installers, and 42 underprivileged individuals have directly benefited from this program.Their journey from theory classes to real-world installations has been inspiring, and we couldn’t be prouder of their accomplishments. They’ve discovered how solar energy can revolutionize our world and now, equipped with knowledge and passion, they are ready to pave the way to a sustainable future. We also wanna give a big shout out  to our Project team members who are Kishen Mohan, Hanzalah Hani and Asyraf Amidin for monitoring the trainees and making this training a great success. This collaboration not only supports the growth of solar energy but also fosters a sustainable future. We commend the dedication and achievements of all participants.
