This is the very first presentation and it tells the students about what to expect from the course and who I am, the presenter, lecturer. This is only a short 10 minutes PP with video.
This session will provide knowledge to the students on how solar panels and inverters work and how they are used in solar farms.
This lesson will teach students how all the various parts come together to connect a solar farm to the grid.
During this session the students will be taught how the electricity is sold to the grid and how a solar farm is monitored through various means.
This session covers the important aspect of running a solar farm once construction is finished, including cost estimates and tasks.
The last session discusses the latest trends and growing market segments that are emerging in the solar industry.
I have designed this course based on my own skills and experiences having worked in the electrical industry for many decades and then in the solar industry during the last then years.
This course is aimed at people who are already working in the solar industry but want to know more about how solar farms function and also for people who are looking for a new rewarding career built around the creation and operation of solar farms. The course has six sessions, starting with basic background knowledge and then focusing on how each part of a solar farm such as solar panels, inverters, monitoring systems etc work and how these components are put together. Further on, the sessions deal with the day-to-day management and operation of solar assets, including costs, revenue and expenses (OPEX), people involved in the management of solar farms and interesting developments in the solar industry.
