About the training

The demand for green energy and alternative sources is on the rise. Solar energy is one of the fastest-growing renewable energy sectors. As modern technologies emerge, it is essential to continue learning and understanding this fast-growing industry's basic concepts and technologies.

This Solar Energy Training is the key for people who want to expand their knowledge and work in solar energy and related industries. After taking this training, you will gain the skills required to be involved in solar photovoltaic projects of any size.

You can expect to learn the solar energy fundamentals, including current market trends, technologies, PV components, various applications, energy storage, PV engineering, and an introduction to PV finance.

You will know how to calculate a building's electricity demand, how to reduce the total demand, and how to design a solar panel system that can meet those annual requirements.

Solar Energy Online Course is designed to provide an overview of the current state of the solar energy industry, the direction of development, and resources for further learning.

What you will learn:

  • How energy has been crucial to human development, connecting the past to the present. The importance of electrification in relation to solar energy, a brief explanation of terminology related to the solar industry, photovoltaic and thermal technology.
  • Photovoltaic technology in detail, beginning with the development of solar cells and ending with the individual components that make up a photovoltaic system.
  • Applications of photovoltaic technology and how the technology is used to meet a variety of energy needs and the solutions that have been developed for those needs.
  • Financial implications related to electricity costs, business and operational models used to deliver the needed solutions.
  • We will examine the compatibility of solar energy with essential sustainable solutions such as battery storage, electric vehicles, distributed energy resources, and smart energy management devices.
  • The impact of software and geographic information systems on the development of solar solutions.
  • Influence of social, economic, and environmental conditions on solar solutions being developed and offered.
