The South African Renewable Energy Technology Centre (Saretec) has taken on the custodian role as the national renewable-energy-sector educator and hopes to have finalised all five occupational certificates of the Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Qualification through its collaboration with Manufacturing, Engineering and Related Services Sector Education and Training Authority (Merseta) and Western Cape provincial government (WCPG) by 2020. Saretec currently offers two occupational certificates to students in the solar PV sector, and is the foremost educator in this regard, having trained about 200 individuals in solar-related courses since its inception in 2016. The first occupational certificate allows the student to operate as a solar PV standalone systems mounter, while the second certificate confirms that the student has the skills of a solar PV standalone installer.
