The training for individuals applying for the issuance or extension of the RES certificate in the field of photovoltaic systems is the ideal solution for everyone who wants to raise their qualifications and increase their chances on the labor market. The training program complies with the Regulation of the Minister of State Assets of 25 February 2020 (Journal of Laws 2020 item 348), which specifies the detailed conditions for granting accreditation to training providers in the field of renewable energy sources and the conditions for conducting training and examinations for individuals seeking the RES certificate. Our course at COCH Kraków combines an exhaustive theoretical lecture with intensive practical workshops, providing complete substantive and practical preparation.
Obtaining a RES certificate is increasingly sought after in tenders related to the installation of photovoltaic systems. Holding RES qualifications is a confirmation of the competence necessary for the professional installation and servicing of photovoltaic systems. This certificate opens the door to many professional opportunities, including working in companies dealing with renewable energy sources and participating in public tenders.
Participation in the training guarantees the acquisition of theoretical and practical knowledge, which is essential to obtain the certificate. The training program covers the latest technologies and best practices used in the photovoltaic industry, which allows participants to acquire up-to-date and valuable skills. The RES certificate is not just a formality, but above all an investment in professional development and the future in the dynamically growing renewable energy sector. Thanks to the training, participants will be able to successfully compete on the labor market, meeting the requirements of employers and investors in the field of photovoltaic systems installation. The training is designed both for individuals starting their career in the PV industry and for experienced electricians and roofers.
The training spot is guaranteed by pre-payment made at least 3 business days before the scheduled course. All training materials, complete technical documentation, full catering (including a hot, two-course restaurant lunch), and secure parking on COCH premises are included in the training price. In case of participating in the training, it is possible to leave the car overnight free of charge in the closed area of the center.
Target groups
Installers wishing to expand their services with the mounting of PV modules, inverters, cabling, and electrical safety protections.
Roofing installers wishing to professionally and safely secure supporting structures and photovoltaic panels.
Persons responsible for the selection of modules and inverters, tilt angle optimization, and shading analysis.
Technicians performing periodic inspections, parameter measurements, damage diagnostics, and cleaning of modules.
All renewable energy enthusiasts wanting to acquire a stable and highly sought-after profession in the market.
Possession of the RES installer certificate in the field of photovoltaic systems is required by applicable legal regulations and confirms the highest qualifications.
According to the Act of 20 February 2015 on Renewable Energy Sources, the certification process for installers of micro-installations and small RES installations is supervised by the Office of Technical Inspection (UDT). The main legal acts regulating this area are:
UDT Accreditation Reference
The Central Refrigeration Centre 'COCH' in Kraków Sp. z o.o. holds an official, lifelong accreditation of the Office of Technical Inspection, registration number OZE-A/12/00035/15.
The legislator has provided two pathways for applying for a certificate issued by the President of the Office of Technical Inspection:
Dedicated to persons holding a field-specific vocational diploma (e.g., technician of renewable energy devices and systems) or a university degree in fields related to RES, sanitary, heating, electrical, or refrigeration installations. They can apply directly to UDT.
Designed for persons without the above-mentioned field-specific education. It requires completing basic training in an accredited training centre (such as COCH) and passing a state exam before the UDT Examination Board.
PV installer course compliant with the Regulation of the Minister of State Assets (Journal of Laws 2020 item 348): lectures and workshops on PV training stands, preparing for the UDT exam and RES certificate for photovoltaic systems.
The Polish RES Act and UDT installer certification, Polish and European regulations and technical standards (incl. HD 60364-7-712), net-billing, notifying the distribution system operator of a micro-installation, fire safety requirements and subsidy programmes (Mój Prąd, Czyste Powietrze).
How a photovoltaic cell works, module types (monocrystalline, polycrystalline, thin-film, bifacial), STC and NOCT ratings, efficiency and temperature coefficient, the effect of orientation and shading on energy yield.
Mounting structures (roof, ground), inverters (grid-tied, off-grid, hybrid), power optimizers, energy storage, solar cabling and AC/DC and surge protection.
Energy demand calculation and PV sizing for self-consumption, string configuration with the inverter, shading analysis, voltage drop, earthing and lightning protection design.
Hands-on analysis of the design and parameters of different PV modules, inverters and electrical equipment on dedicated training stands.
Installing mounting structures on various roof coverings (tiles, metal sheet) and ground structures, and correctly fixing and connecting PV panels.
Crimping MC4 connectors, routing solar cables, assembling AC/DC switchboards with surge protective devices (SPD) and fuses – with emphasis on safe work with DC voltage.
Insulation resistance, open-circuit voltage (Voc) and short-circuit current (Isc) measurements, PV string diagnostics and detecting typical installation faults.
Programming inverter grid parameters, grid-tied and off-grid operation, Wi-Fi monitoring setup, commissioning and completing the acceptance report.
Over 50 years of research and training tradition in the area of technical installations and energetics. Choose knowledge based on practice.
We hold accreditation number OZE-A/12/00035/15 confirming compliance with the strictest programmatic, equipment, and premises requirements.
We train on diverse supporting structures and roof covering types, simulating realistic mounting conditions.
Classes are conducted by practicing engineers and certified auditors who daily handle power grid installations.
Included in the training is a two-course restaurant lunch and an ongoing coffee buffet with homemade cakes and snacks.
We provide free, monitored parking on COCH premises, with the option to safely leave your car overnight.
Pre-payment must be made to the official COCH Kraków bank account at least 3 days before the course.

The state qualification exam is organized after the basic training. It consists of two parts, both of which must be passed:
UDT RES Installer Certificate - legal basis
A qualification certificate for renewable energy source installers is issued by the Office of Technical Supervision (UDT) in Poland. It confirms competence under strict environmental and electrical safety standards in the European Union, valid for 5 years with simple extension options.
A single-choice test consisting of questions verifying knowledge of legal regulations, technical standards, selection of modules and inverters, health and safety, and lightning protection.
Performing an installation or measurement task on an actual PV installation. The UDT inspector evaluates module mounting correctness, MC4 crimping, electrical measurements, and inverter configuration.
After passing the exam, the President of UDT issues an official certificate valid for a period of 5 years. The validity can be extended for another 5 years after completing a refresher training at an accredited centre.
