Photovoltaic training for electrotechnically instructed person (EiP)

According to DIN VDE 0105-100, an electrotechnically instructed person is a person who has been instructed and, if necessary, trained by an electrical specialist about the tasks assigned to him/her and possible hazards in the event of improper behavior, as well as about the necessary protective devices and protective measures.

This photovoltaic training is mandatory as a corresponding VDE training for all employees who perform non-electrical work in an electrical context (not only in the PV environment), in accordance with DGUV regulation 3 (formerly BGV A3). An electrotechnically instructed person is considered to be sufficiently qualified if they have been sufficiently instructed, briefed and – if necessary – trained on the tasks assigned to them and the possible dangers of improper action as well as the necessary protective equipment and protective measures.

In this context, the electrotechnically instructed person (EiP) may also independently perform simple maintenance work in the disconnected state, but only under the direction and supervision of an electrical specialist, as can be seen from the relevant standards and regulations (DGUV Regulation 3, VDE 1000-10, VDE 0105-100). For this purpose we offer our photovoltaic training EiP-PV.

Photovoltaic training for electrical specialist for defined tasks (ESfdt)

If electrotechnical work such as electrical installations, connections, electrical assemblies, disconnection processes or similar must be carried out, the qualification as an electrotechnically instructed person is no longer sufficient, then the training as an electrical specialist for defined tasks in accordance with DGUV Principle 303-001 is a minimum requirement. For this we offer a suitable photovoltaic training.

According to DGUV Principle 303-001 (formerly BGG 944), defined activities are similar, repetitive electrical work on equipment that is defined by the employer in a work instruction. The electrical specialist for defined activities must therefore be able to work on the basis of a checklist.

Electrical specialist for defined tasks as defined by DIN VDE 0105-100, DGUV regulation 3 (formerly BGV A3) is who (in the context described above) on the basis of his professional training in theory and practice, knowledge and experience as well as knowledge of the regulations to be observed during these activities, can assess the work assigned to him and recognize possible dangers.

For this purpose we offer our photovoltaic training ESfdt-PV. The scope of this photovoltaic training is usually 80 teaching units (10 days). A reduction of this time is possible under certain conditions – related to the previous education of the employees to be instructed – whereby these must be clarified very individually.

Maintenance of professional competence electrical specialist (ES)

An electrical specialist is, according to § 2 para. 3 DGUV Regulation 3 who “on the basis of his technical training, knowledge and experience as well as knowledge of the relevant regulations, can assess the work assigned to him and recognize possible hazards.”
A corresponding vocational training or an electrical engineering degree is therefore a prerequisite to be considered an electrical specialist, but this alone is not sufficient. In addition, there is no such thing as “the electrical specialist” for everything. In accordance with EN 50110-1, an electrical specialist can only be an electrical specialist in defined areas, e.g. electrical specialist for photovoltaic systems. In order to be able to deploy an employee as an electrical specialist with a clear conscience and in compliance with the applicable legal regulations, qualification must be ensured and proven in case of doubt.
We offer you our of photovoltaic training maintenance of professional competence electrical specialist in photovoltaic technology. In this training, in addition to the most important legal requirements for PV systems, all necessary safety knowledge is also taught. Our goal is to ensure that your electrical specialists can and are allowed to work safely on photovoltaic systems. This of the photovoltaic training also includes the recurring instruction, which usually takes place annually.
Photovoltaic training LLW

Live line work (LLW) on PV

Live line work (LLW) is defined as work on live parts of electrical systems or equipment. This only applies to dangerous touch voltages, i.e. not to the 12 V system.
The most important rule for live line work is: don’t do it if you can avoid it. But reality shows; it cannot always be avoided. You cannot switch off a photovoltaic system, as soon as the sun shines on PV modules, these PV modules supply voltage.
The prerequisite that electrical specialists must fulfill in order to carry out LLW according to § 8 DGUV regulation 3 is, in addition to the technical knowledge and personal suitability, the qualification according to DGUV regulation 103-011. This comprises a theoretical and a practical part including an examination.
We will gladly qualify your employees in-house for live line work in our photovoltaic training LLW-PV and also advise you on the in-house framework; the use of your own employees is also linked to further organizational measures. Our goal is to ensure that you and your employees work safely and legally on PV systems – when live line work is necessary.

Special requirements of photovoltaic training

Each field of energy distribution has its technical as well as legal and normative peculiarities, especially in the subject area of alternative energies; which also includes the installation and operation of photovoltaic systems. Thus, in addition to the general guidelines of DIN VDE 0100 and other standards such as DIN VDE 0185 for lightning protection systems, the rules of DIN EN 62446 on the construction and operation of photovoltaic systems and the requirements for photovoltaic power supply systems according to DIN VDE 0100-712 must be taken into account. As a specialist for alternative drives and energies, we also offer our training courses for electrotechnical work on photovoltaic systems. We qualify your employees and advise you also gladly with the structure of your safety structure.

Is it possible to employ non-electrical specialists?

We can reassure you and help you with this question. Not all electrotechnical work necessarily has to be carried out by a specialist electrical company; § 5 of the Crafts Code also allows other crafts companies to do so, provided that this work is related to their own work and complements it economically. This includes, for example, commissioning, maintenance or customer service, including electrotechnical activities. However, this requires adequate photovoltaic training for the company’s own employees in accordance with the requirements of DGUV Regulation 3, DIN VDE 0100, DIN VDE 0105. Depending on the type and scope of the work in question, photovoltaic training to become an electrotechnically instructed person (EuP) or an electrical specialist for defined tasks (ESfdt) as defined by DGUV Regulation 3 (formerly BGV A3) is necessary. But even if you only employ specialists, they are not automatically allowed to do everything; for example, live line work – which is more common in PV technology (especially when setting up roof systems) – requires additional training “live line work” (LLW) according to DGUV Rule 103-011 – also as photovoltaic training in our offer.
