This Wednesday (09) we celebrate the Electrical Technician Day, responsible for all stages of electrical energy transmission, working at both operational and strategic levels, deg, installing and operating electricity generation, transmission and distribution equipment.

O professional can work in different sectors, such as product sales and also in metallurgy, technical assistance, telecommunications and civil construction industries.

But, speaking specifically about solar energy segment, electrical technicians can also act by g the photovoltaic projects?

Who can sign photovoltaic system projects?

A answer is yesaccording to Resolution No. 074 of July 05, 2019, which regulates and guides the prerogatives and duties of Industrial Technicians with qualifications in Electrical Engineering.

Os articles 1, 3 and 5, for example, legally that such professionals can carry out the activities of deg, executing and inspecting all types of photovoltaic solar energy installations up to 800 kVA power. Below are excerpts from the resolution that indicate this.

Article 1

Article 3

Article 5

Highlight the “technical” error in Article 5: energy and power are different things. The demand is for power, not energy. And “KVA” is actually spelled kVA, according to the nomenclature of the SIU (International System of Units).
Detail for the “technical” error: energy and power are different things. The demand is for power, not energy. And “KVA” is actually spelled kVA, according to the nomenclature of the SIU (International System of Units).

Therefore, the electrical technician, within the photovoltaic segment, performs functions such as evaluating projects, both documentary and on-site, as well as commissioning solar plants and working in O&M (Operation and Maintenance).
