Here you will find the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on qualifications for work on photovoltaics.
We offer training for the installation, maintenance and servicing of PV systems, including qualifications as EiP and ESfdt as well as live line work.
Yes, our training courses are also aimed at electrotechnically instructed persons and provide the necessary qualification for certain activities.
The EiP for PV can carry out non-electrical work on and in the vicinity of photovoltaic systems as well as installation work in a voltage-free state under the direction and supervision of a electrical specialist for photovoltaics.
The ESfdt for PV carries out standardized, repetitive electrotechnical work in a voltage-free state. Including disconnecting, connecting, standardized measuring and commissioning. All activities may only be carried out in accordance with work instructions (checklist).
VDE 1000-10 has required proof of maintenance of professional competence of electrical specialist since 2021. The course ES for PV is recommended to be completed every three years. It is not only about the basics, but also about innovations in the standards and requirements for electrical specialist in the photovoltaic sector. The course includes the annual instruction.
LLW for PV is the required additional qualification for electricians and ESfdt for working on live parts of photovoltaic systems that cannot be disconnected in accordance with § 8 DGUV regulation 3 in conjunction with DGUV R 103-011/012.
No, you can do a ESfdt training course directly.
As electrical specialist this is not necessary, but of course you must familiarize yourself with all technically relevant specifications (such as component, cable and manufacturer specifications) and comply with them.
a ESfdt must be instructed by electrical specialist for every job, every tool, every measuring device and every component. However, it makes no fundamental difference whether an inverter from a new manufacturer is simply introduced or one that no longer uses 400 V but 800 V technology. The handling, specifications and dangers must be pointed out.
but the qualifications we offer are generally valid for the entire low-voltage range up to 1000 V AC and 15000 V DC.
