Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Certificate)

  • Copper and plastic plumbing systems — install using pipes, fittings, solder, flux, and plastic glue with limited oversight on residential solar thermal projects.
  • Solar collector mounting devices — secure to tile, asphalt, shingle, or built-up gravel roofs using appropriate penetration methods with routine supervision.
  • Circulating pumps and associated plumbing — install using pipe fittings, soldering equipment, and hand tools independently on standard residential configurations.
  • Weather seals including flashings and sealants — apply consistently to roof penetrations and structural devices to meet weatherproofing specifications on active job sites.
  • Mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and control systems — test for operation and functionality using standard diagnostic tools after completing a solar thermal installation.
  • Environmental and safety hazards — assess systematically at the start of each project and communicate findings to crew members before work begins.
  • Technical manuals and manufacturer specifications — read and apply to select correct materials and methods for differing roof and collector types on varied job sites.
  • System start-up and shut-down procedures — perform reliably on newly installed solar thermal systems and document results on job completion reports.
  • Flat-plate, evacuated glass, and concentrating collectors — mount to brackets and struts on pre-installed mounting devices with accuracy and minimal rework.
  • Time and task schedules — manage personal workflow across installation phases to meet project milestones on single-family residential solar thermal jobs.
