This microcredential introduces learners to the essential elements of racking installation in photovoltaic (PV) systems. From understanding roofing materials to exploring racking types, grounding techniques, and tool usage, this course provides a comprehensive overview through interactive and immersive VR simulations and realistic 3D-enhanced learning. Learners will build a strong foundation for safe, code-compliant, and performance-optimized solar installations.
At ImmerseLearn, we recognize that properly installed racking systems are the backbone of every safe and efficient solar array. This course prepares learners to approach racking installation with precision, care, and confidence.
Gain fluency in the vocabulary of roofing and building construction—from rafters and decking to underlayment and slope types—to improve communication and design decisions.
Explore the full range of racking types, including roof-mounted, flush-mounted, tilt-mounted, rail-less, pole-mounted, and tracking systems. Understand their appropriate use cases and component breakdowns.
Learn the function and installation of grounding components like WEEBs, star washers, and jumpers, ensuring code-compliant safety across PV arrays.
Practice industry-standard flashing and sealing methods to safeguard roof integrity and prevent leaks or damage.
Identify and operate essential hand and power tools used in PV racking installation—building the confidence needed to work effectively on a job site.
By completing this microcredential, learners will be prepared to safely and accurately install racking systems in diverse PV environments—supporting quality, efficiency, and energy performance from the very first bolt.
