Course programme
The Solar Photovoltaics course is organised in cooperation with accrediting body SQA and leading universities and is aimed at individuals (professionals and students) who would like to learn how Solar Photovoltaic systems work and who want to find out about the technical aspects of these systems.
The programme is as follows:
- Composition of light. Photovoltaic effect.
- Photovoltaic cells. Materials. Daily/annual energy. Positioning of the modules. Photovoltaic Energy. Photovoltaic Illumination.
- Planning and designing a photovoltaic installation. The electric load.
- Costs and evaluation of the economical solutions. Maintenance and reliability.
- Practical solutions.
- Typologies and modality of installation
- Integration of the photovoltaic modules in the building structure
- Payback time
- Economical perspectives.
