Solar Energy Training & Capacity Building

Green Scene Energy PLC delivers professional solar energy training and capacity building across Ethiopia — transferring a decade of hands-on engineering and installation experience to the next generation of clean energy professionals. From university classrooms to refugee communities, our programs build practical, employment-ready skills in solar PV, clean e-cooking, and productive use of energy. To date, 160+ trainees have completed our programs.

Who We Train

  • University students — around 40 students trained in partnership with Addis Ababa University, bridging the gap between engineering theory and real-world solar project delivery.
  • TVET technicians — hands-on solar technician training aligned with Ethiopia’s Technical and Vocational Education and Training system; approximately 50 technicians trained with TVET institutes, covering solar PV installation, battery storage, maintenance, and safety.
  • Refugee and host communities — around 70 trainees through livelihood-focused renewable energy skills programs delivered with ADRA in Jijiga and Addis Ababa, opening pathways to employment and entrepreneurship in the clean energy economy.
  • Professionals and career changers — anyone seeking to build or upgrade their skills in solar energy, from fundamentals to advanced system design.

What We Teach

  • Solar PV systems — design, installation, commissioning, troubleshooting, and maintenance of off-grid and grid-tied solar power systems
  • Battery energy storage — safe handling, sizing, and integration of modern storage technologies
  • Clean e-cooking — induction cooking technology, including Ethiopia’s locally manufactured TOLO stove
  • Productive use of energy — applying clean energy to income-generating activities such as solar water pumping and agro-processing

Our Training Partners

Our capacity-building programs have been delivered in partnership with ADRA, Addis Ababa University, and Ethiopian TVET institutes. Green Scene Energy is also a grantee of the Ethiopia Jobs Challenge Fund — a program implemented by the Ministry of Labor and Skills (MoLS) with financing from KfW (German Development Bank) — creating clean energy jobs and skills for refugees and host communities in Addis Ababa.
