Contract N: IEE/09/928/SI2.558379
PVTRIN: The PVTRIN project scope is the development of a training and certification scheme for technicians,
according common accepted criteria and standards, focused on the installation and maintenance of small scale PV.
The expected results are: Accredited training courses and an operational certification scheme for PV installers in 6
participating countries; Practical training material/tools for installers and their trainers; Web portal with access to
technical information on PV installation/integration; 8 pilot training courses implemented, a pool of skilled/certified
PV installers; A roadmap for the adoption of the certification scheme across Europe.
Long term, PVTRIN will contribute to the PV/BIPV market growth in the participating countries, provide a supporting
instrument for EU MS to meet their obligations for acknowledged certifications for RES installers till 31/12/2012
and enforce the MS efforts to achieve the mandatory target of a 20% share of energy from RES in overall Community
energy consumption by 2020. The PVTRIN is co-financed by the Intelligent Energy - Europe (IEE) programme.
