The installation of PV systems requires basic electrical engineering knowledge. With the qualification “Electrically trained person (EuP)”, certain electrical engineering work may also be carried out by persons without specialist knowledge under the guidance and supervision of a qualified electrician. If a person has the qualification “Qualified Electrician for Specific Tasks (EFKffT)”, they can also carry out specific electrical work on their own responsibility.
This book is aimed at non-electricians from trades such as roofing, carpentry, joinery, etc., who are involved in the installation of PV systems and want to expand their training with an electrical engineering qualification.

Based on the concept of continuing education measures, this book gives the reader an overview of:

- the EuP qualification:
• electrical engineering basics
• dangers of electric current
• occupational safety
• first aid measures for electrical accidents
• permissible activities of the EuP

- the EFKffT qualification and practical basics for the installation of PV systems
• Field of activity and appointment
• Protection against electric shock
• General electrical engineering activities (selection of cables, stripping, connecting equipment)
• Components of a photovoltaic system as part of the electrical system
• Dimensioning of DC and AC
• Practical execution of the installation
• Testing electrical safety and repeat testing of PV systems
