None! Start here & preparing yourself for a career in renewable energy!

• Training certificate
• Validation test

• PV Markets & Applications
• the principles of photovoltaic power generation.
• About peak-power, one of the main characteristics of photovoltaic panels.
• This module will also go through the importance of photovoltaic panel positioning and the effects of shadows.
• You will become familiar with the major components of a photovoltaic installation, namely: solar panels, batteries, charge controllers and inverters.
• These components have specific characteristics, and their compatibility has to be checked and validated.
• All of these electrical devices are connected in a specific way and constitute the off-grid photovoltaic installation architecture.
• you will study a practical case of system sizing.
• to be able to size a photovoltaic installation and battery capacity given the specifications of a school’s energy needs in a country of your choice.
• Two methods of sizing are compared.
• The method of sizing is a “hand-made” calculation
• By assessing the energy needs of a building and collecting information about the electrical devices in use, you will learn how to calculate the energy consumption.
• Energy consumption and irradiation values will allow you to size the photovoltaic installation in terms of both size and configuration (number of panels in series and parallel).
• The battery sizing will consist of determining the capacity required and the configuration of the batteries to answer the need of the desired autonomy.
• At the end of this module, you will know which solution best suits the needs of the client and the steps that you need to follow when responding to a client demand.
• performance will be measured through an on-line assessment
