Learning by Playing: Gamification of PV Inspection Process
Together with the software developer ESPOTO, RENAC developed an engaging and motivating learning experience: a serious game simulating photovoltaic (PV) inspections. This game represents the final milestone for the large-scale project Indian Rooftop PV Installers Skilling and Employment (iRISE). As part of iRISE, project partners RENAC and GIZ India collaborated on providing dynamic training opportunities.
The gamification of PV inspection was a project achievement that allowed more than 200 players so far to take on the role of a PV inspector at a small company in the fictional SolarCity. Learners planned site visits and investigated common PV system issues at different installations in the city. Players used game features, such as state-of-the-art measuring tools and thermal imaging devices, on inverters and PV modules to practice finding faults and suggest maintenance plans.

Green Banking Programme Conferences Highlight Training Successes and the Future of the Industry The Green Banking programme, funded by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) and implemented by RENAC in Latin America, was finalised in 2022. To conclude four years of comprehensive training and activities, RENAC organised Green Banking Alumni Conferences in Guatemala, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Peru in collaboration with local banking associations, ALIDE and the IFC Green Banking Academy (IFC-GBAC). The conferences created excellent opportunities to expand networks and listen to input from distinguished representatives from ministries and banking associations, including IFC-GBAC representatives Carlos Serrano and Marcela Ponce Perez.

Enertracks Study Tour: Promoting Leadership and Training for a Net Zero Future
EnerTracks conducted its 9th study tour in Berlin, Germany, last November. Participants from more than 12 countries attended the two-week tour. It included workshops, leadership training sessions, and the development of a decarbonisation roadmap for the fictional city, EnerTransia.
As part of the design thinking workshop, participants identified avenues for stakeholder engagement, which was used for role-playing exercises and decarbonisation roadmap development. They also delved into electricity system modelling and introduction to renewable energy finance. At the end of the tour, each group presented their roadmap as other participants assumed the roles of key stakeholders, asked questions and provided feedback.
EnerTracks was developed by RENAC in cooperation with Agora Energiewende. It covers topics related to energy transformation. The project is part of IKI and supported by BMU.
