About the Course:

Proper structural planning is essential for safe, efficient, and code-compliant PV system installations. This microcredential course provides a comprehensive understanding of the structural requirements for photovoltaic systems, including building codes, load considerations, racking methods, and roofing systems. Learners will engage with immersive Virtual Reality (VR) simulations to visualize different installation environments and apply best practices to real-world structural scenarios. 

Learning Objectives:

Course will be delivered via LMS and comes with a VR headset to access VR simulations.

PV systems training with immersive VR simulations for solar certification and workforce development

Workforce Development

At ImmerseLearn, we believe that hands-on learning is key to building confidence and precision in technical trades. This course develops the essential structural awareness solar professionals need to work across diverse roofing systems and terrains while complying with local codes and engineering standards. 

Learn to interpret and apply local structural codes and footing requirements to ensure safe, regulation-compliant installations. 

Understand how to evaluate rooftops, load-bearing capacity, and surface conditions that affect mounting and system performance. 

Compare and choose appropriate mounting systems—roof, ground, or pole—based on structural characteristics and site constraints. 

Gain knowledge of various roofing structures and materials, and learn how to work with mechanical fasteners and building-integrated PV options. 

Practice decision-making in realistic VR simulations that model structural challenges and PV installation environments.

This course reflects ImmerseLearn’s mission to offer affordable, immersive, and accessible training – empowering the future workforce with practical, in-demand skills faster and more affordably than traditional pathways.
