The Solar Innovation Program(SIP) is a free hybrid training program for solar PV installers, EPCs, and suppliers, designed to boost competitiveness in the evolving energy market. Over five weeks, participants will engage in hybrid and online sessions, hands-on workshops, and market-driven learning tailored to help solar entrepreneurs innovate, scale, and seize new opportunities.
This year, the program takes a region-specific approach, with concurrent cohorts in Dipolog City and Davao City for intensive training and capacity building. Additionally, community initiatives in CALABARZON and Central Visayas will foster collaboration among local stakeholders—setting the stage for expanded renewable energy adoption across the Philippines.
