Solar Advanced Technical Course

On-grid – 500KWp to 1 MWp

Design and optimisation of On-grid solar PV plants up to 2MWp for ground mount and roof-top applications.

Overview of Components, modules, inverter, and mounting structure for ground-mounted PV systems
Introduction to PV farm planning, yield prognosis, row planning, sun path, geological survey
Introduction to PV farm planning, yield prognosis, row planning, sun path.
Design-focused training for on-grid solar PV systems in the 100kWp to 1,000kWp range.
Learn about technical design aspects such as space optimization, dealing with shading, PV string design principles and more.
Hands-on exercises with interactive feedback sessions to clarify design principles.
Learn how to optimize a solar PV system from a financial point of view. For example, does it make financial sense to increase the PV inverter loading ratio (PDC:PAC) at the cost of a lower solar yield?

2 Years or more experience in the solar industry, or some experience in the solar industry combining (integrating) solar systems together, compiling energy needs assessments and some basic system sizing
An understanding of grid-connected solar PV system components and their functions
Some basic solar PV system design experience is important
Basic experience with design software is essential (for example Helioscope, PVSol, PVSyst)
Basic spreadsheet capabilities.
