PV Engineering Training: Grid-connected Applications

Learn how to design and install a complete PV facility in this practical hands-on course.

In this course you will become familiar with the main aspects and key challenges of the technical implementation of PV projects. You will find out about the components of a PV system, and how to distinguish the different types of modules and inverters. You will examine the different connection methods and simulate the design of PV systems. You will be able to evaluate and monitor the system‘s daily output in the simulator. Through many practical exercises you will get a good insight into the specific issues and problems that might arise in a practical implementation.

The course includes many practical exercises, for example:

• Determining the electrical properties of modules - measurement of characteristics, module testing
• Module installation System planning and design Installation of a complete PV system
• Examples of system monitoring
• Field trip to a PV system in the vicinity
