Training Objectives
The training will widely cover the design of photovoltaic systems, such as utility scale solar farms or residential scale systems (both on and off the grid). You will learn about the function and operation of various components including inverters, batteries, DC-DC converters and their interaction with both the modules and the grid.
After learning about the components, you will be able to correctly apply them during main design steps taken when planning a real PV installation with excellent performance and reliability. Through modelling, you will gain a deeper understanding of PV systems performance for different solar energy applications, and proficiency in estimating the energy yield of a client’s potential system.
Who Should Attend.
Electrical Designers • Electrical Engineers • Sales Engineers • Electricians • Project Managers • entreprenuers • Installation and Operating Engineers requiring knowledge of PV Solar Systems • energy managers • infrastructure engineers and consultants
