Solar measurement tool company Fluke is now a certified NABCEP training provider. As a NABCEP Approved Training Provider, Fluke will provide educational resources to help solar professionals work safely, efficiently, and accurately in support of the growing industry.
Fluke recently launched its new NABCEP-approved training course, Tools and Techniques for Commissioning and Maintaining PV Systems. Designed for professionals who want to expand their expertise on the tests and measurement tools used during PV array installation, commissioning and maintenance, the course can be credited toward a professional’s NABCEP certification. In some cases, it can help satisfy the hours required to take NABCEP’s exam for PV Installation Professional (PVIP) Board Certification.
“Over the past decade, U.S. solar employment has more than doubled from 105,000 jobs in 2011 to 255,000 jobs in 2021,” said Will White, Fluke’s NABCEP-certified educator. “However, the need to train and equip this new workforce with the right knowledge and tools could quickly become a bottleneck constraining the industry’s growth. We’re proud to receive this widely-recognized standard of excellence from NABCEP, and look forward to playing a key role in preparing the solar workers that are leading the clean energy transition.”
Fluke will also be offering its new NABCEP-approved training course online. This course will review the different steps in the process of building and maintaining a solar array and the appropriate test tools used at each step, including digital multimeters, clamp meters, thermal imaging cameras, insulation resistance testers, I-V curve tracers, irradiance meters, power quality meters, and solar asset management software.
