GoodWe’s Eco Smart Tour Program in India recently concluded with the enthusiastic participation of over 90 young and enterprising professionals in an engaging two-day event. This initiative was conceived with the noble purpose of empowering local communities, including academic sectors, local SMEs, NGOs, and industry education, to explore the vast possibilities of sustainable endeavours in collaboration with GoodWe.
For the past 12 years, GoodWe has been on a remarkable journey in the solar industry, continuously growing and achieving new milestones. However, the company remains grounded and recognizes that all its accomplishments have been made possible through the dedication, skills, and collaborative ‘Spirit of People’. This shared commitment empowers GoodWe, positioning the company as a morally indisputable contributor driving the Global Smart Energy Transition.
This exciting collaboration in India, was established with Skill Council for Green Jobs (SCGJ), an initiative supported by the Government of India. SCGJ’s mission is to identify the skill development needs of manufacturers and service providers within the green business sector. It aims to implement nationwide, industry-led, collaborative initiatives focused on skill development and entrepreneurship, all of which contribute to realizing India’s potential for “Green Businesses.”
GoodWe India and SCGJ together extended invitations to all individuals and organizations interested in shaping the future of clean energy to join us in this transformative event.
The first day Training Program provided participants with a unique opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the evolving landscape of solar inverters and the industry in general. Expert Lectures offered valuable insights and inputs into project performance, underscoring the critical role of operation and maintenance (O&M) in optimizing the efficiency, lifespan, and safety of solar systems.
Mr. Subrahmanyam Pulipaka, Chief Executive Officer of the National Solar Energy Federation of India, who inaugurated the program, highlighted the immense potential offered by solar energy in India and the ongoing advancements in the sector. He also emphasized the numerous green job opportunities that the solar industry is going to generate.
Monika Kumari, Marketing Manager for GoodWe India, emphasized the significance of skill development in a time of rapidly evolving phase of Solar Technology and product launches. For GoodWe, a continued emphasis on training reflects our commitment to ensuring that both partners and customers can maximize the potential of their solar systems.
The next day was followed by a Unique competition called the ‘Solar Cup 2023’. The competition was meticulously designed to provide a real-time assessment of the youth’s skills. The response from the participating youth was overwhelmingly positive, drawing participants from various states, including Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and beyond. This event aimed to evaluate the talents of the youth and recognize exceptional performances, featuring questions on solar technologies and real-time project development skills.
The competition comprised two distinct segments. In the initial round, participants faced a series of multiple-choice questions, totalling 45 in number, pertaining to solar and renewable technologies. These questions collectively carried a maximum of 45 marks. Subsequently, nine candidates with the highest scores advanced to the final round.
During the final round, participants were provided with GoodWe inverters, solar panels, and other essential technologies, tasked with installing them within a specified time frame. The candidates were divided into three separate teams and had 4.5 hours to complete the installations.
A panel of judges carefully assessed the candidates’ performances, leading to the recognition of three outstanding individuals: Raushan Kumar, Aasif, and Meghraj. They were awarded with Scholarship of 1000 USD, that can nurture their passion and enable them to pursue a promising career in the Solar Industry.
This initiative not only enhanced GoodWe’s brand reputation but also paved the way to foster positive local public relations by exemplifying our commitment to the Green Energy transition while prioritizing community involvement.
