Ex-Africa Technical Institute trains Zimbabwe’s next generation of NABCEP-certified solar experts, meeting soaring demand for skilled PV technicians and engineers.
As Zimbabwe accelerates its transition to renewable energy, a new, highly valuable commodity has emerged: certified expertise. The nation's explosive growth in solar adoption has created an unprecedented demand for skilled PV installers, technicians, and engineers.
The NABCEP Advantage: A Global Standard in a Local Market
