What will I learn?
This short course teaches you practical skills to check sites, understand weather and sunlight data, and plan good rooftop solar systems that follow U.S. rules and permissions. You will learn how to arrange panels, handle structure and safety needs, size the arrays using free tools, guess production and payback time, improve parts when there is shade, and make simple reports, pictures, and performance overviews ready for clients to ensure strong project completion.
