Introduction

• The EWSETA will commence with the Implementation of the SWH Programme Training of

Installation, subject to DoE and the DoL remaining the accountable party to their respective

Executive Authority, in order to enable the accelerated roll-out of new solar water heater

installations in residential dwellings in areas designated by municipal authorities across the

country.

• The Parties agree that the EWSETA shall be responsible for achieving pre-determined key

milestones and targets set in the Training Implementation Plan subject to the availability of

adequate Training Implementation Budget.

Energy and Water SETA Role

Responsibilities of the EWSETA

• Implement assessment for the selected learners; upload learners’ information to the EW

SETA Learner Management System, where applicable; and subject to the necessary

resources made available, to undertake the training phase of the SWH Programme in

line with the SAQA standards designed for the installation of hot water geyser

installation

• Through its procurement policies and the PFMA, source and/or appoint the Accredited

Training Institutions with extensive knowledge and experience of the energy sector and

in particular the solar water heater sector and value chain

• Work very closely with the DoE to ensure synergy between the SWH Supplier

contracted by the DoE and the appointed accredited Training Consultants or Service

Providers or Institutions

• Ensure quality assurance standards of the EWSETA are understood and implemented

by all Training Service Providers

• Develop and Implement a Training Monitoring and Evaluation Plan to enable all the parties to

track progress whilst the EWSETA will ensure proper monitoring and evaluation of the roll out

of training undertaken by all appointed Training Service Providers

• Provide monthly progress training reports required on all training milestones or deliverables in

line with the approved Project Implementation Plan. Such training records shall be

disaggregated to ensure that monitoring of the different categories of trainees such as

women, youth and people with disabilities statistics can be verified

Implementation Plan

Accredited Training Requirements

Solar water heating (SWH) is the conversion of sunlight into heat for water

heating using a solar thermal collector. A variety of configurations are

available at varying cost to provide solutions in different climates and

latitudes. SWHs are widely used for residential and some industrial

applications

Providers must be accredited to provide Unit Standards with the relevant ETQA or

ETQA that has a Memorandum of understanding in place with the relevant ETQA.

Skills Development Providers must have a functioning Training centre that have

Facilitators and Assessors that are registered with the EWSETA

UNIT STANDARDS FOR SOLAR WATER HEATING

Training Facilitation Process

Inductions

Induction refers to action

or process of inducting

someone to a training.

Registration

Learner information

will be validated by

the EWSETA official

Information will be

loaded on the MIS

system.

Proof of registration

will be issued once

the learners are

loaded.

Training

THEORY

The learners will be in class for 4 weeks (20 days)

PRACTICAL

The learners will be doing practical for 3 weeks (15 days)

SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT

The learners will be assessed for a day

EXIT LEVEL OUTCOMES

Assessors must be registered as assessors with the

EWSETA Quality Assurance and Compliance. Providers must

also be accredited as providers with EWSETA Quality

Assurance and Compliance. Providers will primarily use their

own qualified staff as assessors but may, if they wish make

use of tutors and/or outside accredited assessors or

assessment agencies provided that the provider monitors the

process.

Internal and external assessors must have an appropriate

Qualification at least one level above the level of the

Qualification or appropriate experience in plumbing.

These Unit Standards will be internally assessed and

externally moderated by a moderator registered by the

EWSETA Quality Assurance and Compliance.

The learner's performance/results should be moderated by

one or more external moderators. Moderators should report

not only on the standard of achievement but also on the

validity and reliability of the assessment strategies, design

and criteria in relation to the Unit Standards.

auditor) and the

EWSETA Official.

The Monitoring will be

conducted and the

findings are recorded

Objectives

The EWSETA will issue statements of Results with credits for the learners if found competent.

The learner will be able to install solar equipment and maintain them.

Apply known solutions to familiar and well defined problem related to working in the electrical

field with basic understanding of forms of energy and safety environmental awareness.

Reduce maintenance cost.

To maximize the use of renewable and natural resources in the building environment.

Understand energy conversion in solar cells and when it is in motion.
