Solar Energy Course
Master solar energy for community buildings: analyze local solar resource, size PV systems, assess roof feasibility, model loads, and present clear technical, financial, and environmental cases that win support from decision-makers.

flexible workload of 4 to 360h
valid certificate in your country
What will I learn?
Gain practical skills to evaluate a community center project from resource assessment through system sizing, layout, and performance. Learn to estimate loads, interpret irradiation data, check roof feasibility, and calculate production with clear, documented assumptions. Build a concise, professional technical note that explains costs, savings, emissions, and resilience in language decision-makers trust.
