Description

The Certified PV Professional online training programme equips participants with knowledge on how to plan and operate different PV systems. The first three courses in the programme cover the basics on components, configuration and sizing as well as on the economics of various types of PV systems. The following four courses further explain these topics and show how PV power plants and PV-diesel systems are planned and operated. These courses give technology specific details as well as tips for the planning and operation process.

Mandatory courses in the programme:

The mandatory courses that must be taken in order to be eligible to sit the final exam and that make up its content are the following:

PV – application
PV – technology
PV-diesel hybrid systems
PV off-grid systems
Small-scale PV grid-connected systems
Planning of large-scale PV grid-connected systems
Planning of PV-diesel hybrid systems

To supplement the learning experience, participants will have access to optional introductory courses on energy and electricity topics. These courses are not mandatory, do not contain assignments, and will not be covered in the exam. Participants new to these topics would benefit from reviewing the content in these courses.

Optional courses in the programme:

Introduction to electricity
Introduction to energy
Introduction to the solar resource
Introduction to electric grids

Receive a reminder one week before the registration deadline.

Learning Objectives

After completing this programme, participants should be able to:

determine optimal PV system sizes and estimate their corresponding energy yield;
categorise PV-diesel hybrid systems and evaluate their viability;
identify the system type (off-grid, grid-connected or hybrid) best suited to any given setting; and
define the planning and implementation steps to ensure the success of a PV project.

Participants who successfully pass the exam at the end of programme will receive a RENAC certificate. All other participants will receive a Certificate of Attendance if they have completed all the self-tests contained in the mandatory courses.

Target Groups

This programme is suitable for you if you:

you need to acquire detailed knowledge of the technical characteristics of various types of PV systems;
you need to deal with various stakeholders in a PV project appraisal process; or
you are going to be involved in planning or supervising the implementation of a PV plant.

As an electrical engineer who believes that solar energy is one of the most viable sources of cleaner and cheaper electricity for the future, attending the RENAC online training and becoming certified as a PV Professional has equipped me with the necessary knowledge to understand the principles behind the design, as well as the required experience to carry out actual solar PV plant installations. Thank you for such a comprehensive course. This is training that I can confidently recommend to other engineers and all those interested in renewable energy.

Theofelus Mweetako – Certified PV Professional

2023

The programme helped me deliver better work results and provided all the necessary materials and support to plan and execute solar PV projects.

Namig Muradov – Certified PV Professional

2022

It was perfect. I have done a previous course with Renac and came back for another course. It has been fruitful and I have learned a great deal.

Danah Alsaleh – Certified PV Professional

2021

My experience in attending Renac training is that it greatly enhances and validates my insights about solar PV plants and everything about it.

Aripriantoni Harmanto – Certified PV Professional

2020

RENAC’s Certified PV Professional programme is definitely a great way to get up to speed with photovoltaic business and technology. Not to mention the very hands-on do’s and don’ts tips included in the modules. Definitely a “must do” training programme.
