Shams Oman Solar Training Program Sponsored by BP Oman


The Shams Oman Solar Training Program is an initiative developed by Shams Global Solutions and sponsored by BP Oman's Social Investment Programmes. As a part of this program, BP Oman, SGS, and its partners provide training and educational opportunities for Omanis in solar power and renewable energy.






BP SIP

We are proud of our partnership and collaboration with BP Oman to bring Oman and the region a world-class and unique set of opportunities for training a new generation of Omanis in the skills of solar power and solar power systems. Through their Social Investment Program (SIP), BP Oman has sponsored the development of Oman's first and only hands-on, practical, grid-connected solar training facility, located here in Muscat, Oman that has 18 kW of solar photovoltaic power for trainees to learn how to design, install, operate and maintain.

Competitions, Workshops, and More.

Initiative #2

Along with the Shams Facility for Solar Training Programme developed under this sponsorship, SGS will be working with BP Oman to produce a series of competitions and workshops related to solar power. Our competitions will focus on letting students compete and present different solutions for designing or producing equipment related to solar power. Additionally, we are engaging with school-aged children to provide workshops and educational opportunities for them to learn about renewable energy and the environmental aspects of energy systems.

Training and Development

Initiative #3

Along with the training center, SGS has developed a solar training course, with partners at Solar Energy International (SEI). With this course and training center, Omani's will learn how to install, commission and troubleshoot solar power systems exactly as they are designed and implemented in the real world.
