Jakarta: Indonesia’s Manpower Ministry has trained 60 prospective solar power assessors through a technical competency certification programme aimed at supporting the country’s target of installing 100 gigawatt-peak (GWp) of solar capacity, Antara News reported.
The three-day programme, which concluded on Saturday, was organised across three centres in West Java and Banten: Public Vocational High School 1 Garut, the Indonesia University of Education in Bandung and the Centre for Vocational and Productivity Training in Serang. Each centre hosted 20 participants.
The training covered rooftop solar installation, power plant inspection and testing, and advanced system maintenance.
