With the Aim of Training Professionals in the Fastest Growing Sector in Recent Years, Senai Is Creating Courses for Training in Photovoltaic Solar Energy

The National Service for Industrial Training (Senai) has completed a training and improvement plan with courses at ten technical schools across the country to qualify new professionals, developed in partnership with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit and the Research and Training Center in Photovoltaic Solar Energy at the Federal University of Santa Catarina.

Training New Professionals for Activities in the Photovoltaic Solar Energy Market

The Senai plan aimed to expand knowledge about solar energy within the network of technical schools of the institution for the opening of training courses.

The teaching centers that underwent a kind of selection process received donations from partner companies, which helped with equipment. The 10 units that received equipment for photovoltaic training courses were: Senai Antônio Simões School in Manaus (AM), the Professional and Technological Education Center of Imperatriz (MA), the Professional Training Center of Santa Rita, Macapá (AP), the Senai of the Industrial District of Cuiabá (MT), the Senai Areias Technical School in Recife (PE), the CDTSVE Stefan Bogdan Salej in Santa Rita do Sapucaí (MG), the CTC Wildson Gonçalves in Teresina (PI), Senai-RS/GEPTEC in Porto Alegre (RS), Senai Firjan Tijuca in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), and the unit in Jaraguá do Sul (SC).

Senai Courses Will Train Professionals of the Future

Until last year, around 63 schools spread across 14 states already offered technical training for professionals in the photovoltaic solar energy sector and other renewable energies.

The courses include Installation of Photovoltaic Systems, Photovoltaic System Projects, Installation of FV Systems, and Renewable Energy Systems. The Senai instructor in Pernambuco, Antônio Negreiros, who has worked at the institution since 2011, participated in the instructional module that focused on content about sizing and projects of photovoltaic solar energy systems. He states that these new courses offered by the institution are of utmost importance, given that the subject is still underrepresented in the country.

GIZ Study

The teaching of photovoltaic solar energy technology is a strategic activity in the country, according to a study published by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ).

The study details the needs of the sector from the perspective of professionals specialized in services related to the production chain. The work was carried out within the framework of technical cooperation between Germany and Brazil in the sector of renewable sources and energy efficiency, by GIZ in partnership with IDEAL, IESS, UFSC, and Cognitio Consulting.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

Using high-resolution satellite images, archaeologists rediscovered the Egyptian city of Imet, buried for centuries in the Nile Delta, revealing rare multi-story houses, granaries, and a sacred road linked to the cobra goddess Wadjet, from about 2,400 years ago.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

Motorcyclist sees excavator arriving at the edge of a river in Bosnia, calls neighbors in minutes and turns a hydroelectric project into a resistance lasting more than 10 years with five expired concessions.

A doctor saw a 3-month-old baby turn blue due to lack of oxygen in a hospital without equipment and made a decision that kept the child alive with a cake box until help arrived; she maintained the situation for four hours in the interior of RN before the transfer.

50-meter tunnel below the seabed could retire old ferries in the Shetland Islands: £400 million project promises to connect communities, reduce isolation, and transform the future of transportation in Scotland

Minas announces more than R$ 400 million in infrastructure works and projects in the Midwest, with highway revitalization, new asphalt connections, a bypass in Bambuí, and bridge duplication planned until 2030.

Young Hawaiian recycles 1.8 million cans and bottles and uses the money to fund college scholarships: Genshu Price diverted 63,000 kilograms of waste from landfills and turned each five-cent deposit into university hope.

Uber puts a brake on artificial intelligence after spending the entire 2026 budget in 4 months, limits tools used by developers, and exposes the challenge for companies to prove that AI productivity pays for itself.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.

Migrant workers left the world’s largest renewable energy park in India after extreme heat, 12-hour shifts, delayed wages, and poor accommodations at a site that still promises to supply 18 million homes.

Taiwanese fishermen accepted offshore wind turbines in the name of clean energy, but now they say that old routes have disappeared, fish have decreased, and income has become uncertain on the coast.
