About Solar Technician
Solar power is not the future anymore — it is what is being installed across rooftops, industrial sheds, and government buildings in West Bengal right now. Trained Solar Technicians are the people doing that work, and the demand for qualified hands is running well ahead of supply.
At TIAE ITI in Bolpur, the Solar Technician (Electrical) trade is a one-year NCVT-affiliated course under the Craftsmen Training Scheme. It covers everything a working solar technician needs to know: how photovoltaic systems are designed, how to install panels safely, how to wire and connect inverters and batteries, and how to test and troubleshoot a system after installation.
Students completing this course receive the National Trade Certificate — valid across India and recognised by government departments, solar EPC companies, and the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) sector.
