Kenyan technicians rarely fail on theory
They lose marks — and callbacks — on method. What gets checked first, what is proven dead before it is touched, and what actually gets written down. That is what a graded lab drills.
Every lab is scored, with a forced safety gate. An unsafe method fails the lab outright — there is no partial credit for guessing at a live DC string.
Hybrid inverters with battery banks, generator changeover, dust-cemented arrays upcountry and coastal corrosion on the connectors — the faults you actually get called to.
Commissioning sheet and service report templates you can use on the job the same week, so your evidence looks the same on every site.
Start on standalone DC, build through inverters and storage, finish on grid-tied and hybrid with KPLC-facing documentation.
Re-run any lab before an assessment or before a job you have not done in a year.
15% off for 3–5 technicians, 25% for 6–10, 40% for 11 or more, with a KES invoice for the company.
How the track maps to EPRA classes
Small standalone DC systems
Solar home systems, DC lighting and small standalone installations — the work where safe isolation, correct sizing of the DC side and honest commissioning evidence decide whether the system survives its first year.
Medium systems with inverters and batteries
Systems with inverters, charge control and battery storage, where AC and DC hazards coexist and diagnosis has to separate a module problem from a controller problem from a battery problem.
Grid-tied and hybrid systems
Grid-connected and hybrid installations where interconnection procedure, protection settings, monitoring and documentation matter as much as the physical build.
Scope descriptions are indicative. EPRA publishes the definitive class requirements — see the EPRA licence guide and confirm with EPRA before applying.
Pay by M-Pesa, card, or company invoice
M-Pesa is live today. Kenyan learners can pay for Academy enrolment by M-Pesa, and Kenyan companies can pay their EcoService OS subscription by M-Pesa. Amounts are set in USD and settled through our licensed local payment partner, so the M-Pesa prompt shows the KES amount at the rate applied at checkout.

This is a technical capability upgrade, not a certificate you buy. You are paying for graded diagnostic work that changes how you troubleshoot on site — the part that survives long after any single assessment.

Optional and separate. Cancelling does not remove the track you enrolled in.
Add the support membershipTraining questions from Kenyan technicians
Is this solar technician training recognised in Kenya?+
It is independent technical training that prepares you for EPRA assessment. EPRA issues the licence; the Academy issues a certificate of completion. Confirm current licensing requirements with EPRA directly.
How long does the training take?+
There are no cohort dates. Most technicians working evenings and weekends finish the 16 modules and 30 graded labs in six to ten weeks, and access does not expire.
Can I pay by M-Pesa?+
Yes — M-Pesa payment is live. Enter your M-Pesa number at checkout and approve the prompt on your phone. Card payment and a KES company invoice are also available.
Do I need to already be working in solar?+
No, but the labs assume you can use a multimeter safely. Technicians already on site get the most out of it because the diagnostic method transfers straight to the next callout.
What do EPRA T1, T2 and T3 solar technician licences cover?+
Broadly, T1 covers small standalone DC systems, T2 covers medium systems with inverters and battery storage, and T3 covers grid-tied and hybrid installations. EPRA publishes the definitive scope and requirements for each class, and you should always confirm current requirements directly with EPRA before applying.
Is this training accredited or approved by EPRA, NITA or KEBS?+
No. EcoPowerHub Academy is independent technical training. It does not issue a licence and is not an EPRA-approved or NITA-accredited course. It is designed to build the practical diagnostic depth that assessments test, alongside the licensing route you follow with EPRA.
What does the EPRA practical assessment involve?+
Practical assessment is about demonstrating safe, correct method under observation: isolating properly, taking valid measurements, wiring and terminating to standard, and explaining why you are doing what you are doing. Confirm the current format with EPRA, because it is the assessor's method — not ours — that you are being marked against.
EcoPowerHub Academy is independent technical training. It prepares technicians for assessment but does not issue, guarantee or substitute for an EPRA licence, NITA accreditation or any registration. Licensing decisions, practical assessment and logged experience remain with the named authority, and live electrical work must only be carried out by qualified, licensed persons.
