Amatrol’s Solar Thermal Installation Learning System (950-STF1) equips learners with essential skills for installing and commissioning both closed-loop and open-loop solar thermal systems. Aligned with NABCEP (North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners) learning objectives, this system is designed to support workforce readiness in one of the fastest-growing renewable energy sectors.

With a mobile workstation, solar thermal collectors, and multimedia curriculum, students gain hands-on experience in selecting, preparing, mounting, and connecting real-world solar thermal components—including copper tubing, PVC piping, and electrical wiring. The system is ideal for CTE programs, technical colleges, and workforce development centers aiming to deliver industry-relevant solar training.

Spanish eLearning Available.

  • Mobile workstation with integrated shadow boards, vise, and mounting panels
  • Teaches installation of both closed-loop and open-loop systems
  • Interactive PC-based curriculum with instructor guide
  • Silk-screened component inventory and reusable parts to minimize consumables
  • System safety features include soldering curtain, emergency stop, and lockout/tagout
  • Mechanical Installation
  • Fluid System Installation
  • Electrical Wiring and Safety
  • Copper Tubing & PVC Piping Techniques
  • Soldering and Assembly Practices
  • Installation of Solar Collectors, Tanks, Valves, and Instrumentation
  • System Commissioning and Troubleshooting

The 950-STF1 base model focuses on closed-loop pressurized systems but can be expanded to support:

  • Closed-loop drainback systems with the 95-STF2 option
  • Open-loop auto-draindown and manual draindown systems with the 95-STF3 option

The included multimedia curriculum features in-depth theory, real-world scenarios, and 3D animations. Learners gain progressive understanding—from fundamental solar thermal concepts to complex installation techniques.

A sample Student Reference Guide is also provided, consolidating the curriculum’s core concepts into a durable, easy-to-carry textbook—perfect for post-course reference and jobsite use.
