Description
This course provides step-by-step guidance through the various types of solar energy systems, design processes, and safety practices used in the renewable energy sector. It begins with the Basics of Solar Energy System, introducing the principles behind photovoltaic generation. Learners will then explore batteries in PV systems, a key part of storage and backup planning for both off-grid and grid-connected systems.
In Unit 3 and Unit 4, the focus shifts to off-grid and on-grid system designs. Learners will explore how to choose components, size them correctly, and understand power requirements. These sections are especially valuable for those preparing to design solar systems for rural or urban projects.
Unit 5 offers insights into PV system simulation using PVSyst, a widely used industry tool. Units 6 and 7 cover solar water pumping and system protection, important for agricultural and industrial applications. Learners then move on to Excel-based design techniques (Unit 8), followed by interpreting single-line diagrams (Unit 9), which are essential for installation and maintenance.
The course ends with an introduction to MATLAB and ETAP for PV simulation. These software tools are used in engineering and design companies across the UK and provide valuable insight into real-time analysis and performance tracking of solar energy systems.
The full curriculum prepares learners for technical roles and energy consultancy positions. It is also useful for entrepreneurs looking to install solar systems in residential, agricultural, or industrial settings.
