Training centre
ProSolar Academy
Vocational training centre for the installation and maintenance of solar systems, run by Dieye Solar Group in partnership with ISEP Abdoulaye Ly de Thiès.
Why ProSolar Academy
Technicians trained in the field, not just in the classroom.
Solar is growing fast in Senegal, but many installations are still carried out by under-trained technicians: badly sized systems, repeated breakdowns, disappointed customers.
ProSolar Academy passes on the know-how Dieye Solar Group has built on its sites: sizing, installing hybrid inverters, storage, solar pumping and maintenance. The programme is open to anyone who wants a practical trade in a sector that is hiring.
