About the course
With climate change being a huge environmental issue worldwide, clean energy to power communities is needed. Solar can help lower our carbon footprint and can make a huge contribution to the environment's health.
For the reliable, long-term supply of power to off-grid users, electrical workers involved with these systems fully understand the operating theory and safety requirements in order to design and install safe and effective systems, as well as adequately manage customer expectations.
This course builds upon the basic knowledge provided in Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Systems and expands upon that in Grid-Connected Battery Systems.
