What this is
EDGE Academy explains the logic of a photovoltaic system: panels, inverters, optimisers, monitoring and safety. The course is short and pitched at introductory level.
Full installer certification requires regional training and is not closed out by this free course. So this is a start in a field where demand in Georgia is growing, not a finished qualification.
Who it is for
Anyone entering the renewables sector or dealing with solar systems in passing.
How to get it
- 1Open SolarEdge and create a free account. No card is asked for at any point.
- 2Work through the material, ~2 h in total. It is self-paced, so the time is yours to spread.
- 3Complete every module. The document is issued on completion, not on an exam result.
- 4Download the certificate as a PDF and keep the verification link, which is what an employer actually checks.
From Georgia
Free and open from Georgia.
What to watch for
Installer certification is separate and tied to regional training.
Where this helps
Live remote vacancies in the same direction. You apply on the employer's own site; the board itself is written in Georgian.
