Overview
The first three courses in the Certified PV Professional online programme offered by Renewables Academy (RENAC) AG cover the basics on components, configuration and sizing as well as on the economics of various types of PV systems. The following four courses further explain these topics and show how PV power plants and PV-diesel systems are planned and operated. These courses give technology specific details as well as tips for the planning and operation process.
After completing this programme, participants should be able to:
- determine optimal PV system sizes and estimate their corresponding energy yield;
- categorise PV-diesel hybrid systems and evaluate their viability;
- identify the system type (off-grid, grid-connected or hybrid) best suited to any given setting; and
- define the planning and implementation steps to ensure the success of a PV project.
Participants who successfully pass the exam at the end of programme will receive a RENAC certificate. All other participants will receive a Certificate of Attendance if they have completed all the self-tests contained in the mandatory courses.
