T Sol and PV Sol Training

PVSolTSol

All our software packages come with detailed help menus available simply by pressing the ‘F1’ key at any stage in the program. There is also a step-through ‘wizard’ to get you started as well as email or telephone assistance during business hours.

However, to get the best from T Sol and PV Sol software, we also recommend purchasing our training packages. For individuals or groups, there is no better way to get up to speed on accurate solar simulations. We offer this training either at your choice of location or at our offices in mid-Wales.

TSol and PVSol Training

We recommend group sizes are kept to a maximum of five to ensure adequate time for each individual, whatever their ability.

Minimum equipment requirements are that each participant should have their own laptop running a current version of T Sol or PV Sol.

Prices are as follows:

  • Per day @ £350 for one person
  • Each extra person add £ 50-  
  • Travel expenses if incurred
