✦ Synopsis

Utilizing small dispersed photovoltaic power systems for rural electri®cation has been an attractive idea for many years, but has been hampered by a number of infrastructure and implementation issues. Training' is often hailed as an important part of the solution, and indeed properly trained installers and designers are essential for the successful growth of this industry, but any training activity must be viewed in the larger context of the realities that it is intended to in¯uence. A well-intentioned training program may still not improve market growth or customer satisfaction. Careful selection of training candidates and accreditation for certi®cation are important overall issues that should be dealt with by the international photovoltaic community to allow Training!' to make the dierence that it should.
