Description

Solar technologies can be used to produce electricity (e.g. to reduce fuel consumption), or for hot water provision. By choosing this training, you will get an understanding of:

Photovoltaics:

Applications and market development
Solar radiation
System components
System configurations (grid-tied and off-grid)
Introduction to system design and yield estimation

Solar thermal:

Relevance of solar thermal
How solar thermal works
Different solar thermal system types and its components
System sizing, installation and commissioning
Operation and maintenance
Economics

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP):

Potential
Technologies
Plant cooling
Electricity storage
Energy yield calculation

PV-diesel hybrid systems:

Off-grid electricity supply by means of diesel-powered mini grids,
Hybridization with PV- and / or wind energy-systems,
Technology and components,
Parameters for system sizing,
Levelised cost of energy

Additionally, each participant will have access to short introductory courses on energy and electricity topics to learn or revise the basics. These courses are not mandatory, and will not be covered in the exam.

Receive a reminder one week before the registration deadline.

Learning Objectives

After the online training, you will be able to:

Assess resources and suitability of sites for each technology
Decide which components are to be used for which purpose
Roughly calculate system size and energy yield and determine crucial paramerters
Explain the principle functioning of each technology

Upon successful finalisation of the training, you will receive a RENAC Certificate.

Possible specialisations after successfully finishing this training:

Certified PV Professional
Certified RE Project Developer with a focus on Photovoltaics, PV-diesel hybrid, or Solar thermal systems
