Solar photovoltaic training course

A training course providing an overview of the main points for developing a solar photovoltaic project and in more detail the design of a photovoltaic solar plant.

Solar power is now one of the fastest growing sectors in the world’s electrical power industries. This course looks at the key factors that need to be addressed by professionals working in the solar photovoltaic energy business. By offering a training course of 1, 2 or 3 days we provide a programme that matches the different needs of the participants.

All of the training courses cover the technical basics of solar PV, project design, energy production assessments, and the project development process. In the 2-day training course we will elaborate further on the PV market, product quality, contracts and operational aspects. The 3-day training course contains additional topics like project costs, financing and bankability, floating solar, construction, commissioning and acceptance.
