Solar PV training teaches you to design a photovoltaic system: assess the site, size modules and inverters, arrange strings, select cables and protection, and estimate the energy it will produce.
Site assessment
Roof area, orientation, tilt and shading decide how much a site can generate.
Sizing
Match the number of modules to the inverter's voltage and current windows, and the system size to the load or the allowed connection capacity.
Electrical design
DC and AC cable sizing, protection devices, earthing and the single line diagram. This is why the course suits engineers with an electrical design background.
Yield estimation
Simulation software estimates annual energy from weather data and system losses.
Rules and approvals
Grid-connected systems must follow the local utility's connection rules. Check the current requirements for any live project.

Frequently asked questions
Who should take solar PV training?
Electrical engineers, technicians and energy professionals who design, install or evaluate PV systems.
Is solar training practical?
Ask what design exercises and equipment are included in your batch.
Do I need electrical knowledge first?
Basic electrical principles are needed to follow the sizing and protection topics.
