Description
Solar energy is rapidly becoming one of the most important and accessible sources of renewable power worldwide. This course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of how to design and implement photovoltaic (PV) systems tailored to a wide range of applications. Students will explore the principles of solar radiation, photovoltaic technology, and the components that make up a typical solar system—including panels, inverters, batteries, charge controllers, and mounting structures. The course emphasizes real-world system design practices such as load analysis, system sizing, site selection, shading analysis, wiring schematics, grounding, and safety compliance with NEC and IEC standards. Learners will also cover grid-tied versus off-grid systems, hybrid configurations, and financial modeling for return on investment (ROI) and payback periods. With practical exercises and interactive design tools, this course prepares professionals, technicians, and solar entrepreneurs to confidently plan, deploy, and maintain reliable solar installations. Whether you are entering the solar workforce or expanding your technical portfolio, this course is a vital step toward mastering sustainable energy solutions.

Barnabas –
This course gave me real-world knowledge beyond the classroom. The hands-on design exercises and system sizing examples helped me understand solar systems from the ground up.
Sidi –
I enrolled to learn how to set up a solar system for my off-grid cabin—and I did! The practical modules made it easy to apply the knowledge step by step.
Khadija –
Well-structured and highly relevant. It covers everything from solar panel types to battery storage and inverters. I now feel more confident consulting on residential and small commercial projects.
Kafilat –
I run a small warehouse and wanted to reduce our electricity costs with solar. This course helped me understand system components and how to evaluate vendors with confidence.
