Description
Hello solar friends!! Now we are more than 3100 students worldwide! thank you for this! This shows the quality and content of the course! Visit my profile for more courses like this one :)
Thank you so much for your interest in the COMPLETE SOLAR ENERGY COURSE with 119 lectures and extra downloadable resources to help you design, size, and price your solar system!
In this course, you are going to learn from the basics to the more complex subjects on solar energy.
You are going to learn in-depth and intensive content on solar energy.
This is not just a regular course, it's complete, intensive, and practical, focused on both technical and commercial sides of solar energy.
Solar Energy is growing exponentially and is growing non-stop, it has already created thousands of jobs in the world. It is getting more complex and more knowledge is needed to differentiate yourself in the industry to land a job or to start your own company.
In this course, you will get A LOT of content and knowledge about solar energy and the industry. Including how to design and size a PV System.
I'm a mechanical engineer and I've been working in solar energy for more than 7 years, both in the technical and in the commercial and business development side of the industry.
I have a great overview of both sides and I focused on both in this course. That's why also with the technical information, I'll be talking about commercial tips during the lectures to help you understand how to see the business and where to stand when selling or selling a PV system.
In this course, we also have a financial section in which we learn how to estimate the PAYBACK period of the PV system using the NET PRESENT VALUE method, a method used on investment analysis not only on solar but in many other industries to analyze an investment.
The approach of this course is to go from the components to the system, this means, we’ll start learning each component of the system separately, and then after we understand how each component works, we’ll see the system working as a whole, how each component work on the system and how the system works altogether.
So there we go, an in-depth, complete course on on-grid solar photovoltaic systems, prepared in a very easy to learn methodology, from the components to the system, step by step, focused on both technical and commercial skills.
You will get access to download the excels that we developed to help you calculate the payback period, the solar energy generation of your PV system for different tilts and we show you how to import the irradiance for any location, the energy consumption of your location, the price per kWp of the system that you are quoting and more.
Enroll in our course now! Join the green revolution and become part of the industry!
The goal is to add more value for you and to spread the green revolution, we are firm believers that the world needs clean energy, and at the same time this has to be sustainable

Trader y YouTuber financiero, podes ver mis videos de trading de criptomonedas y acciones en mi canal de YouTube.
Soy ingeniero mecánico y he trabajado (y aún trabajo) en energía solar durante más de 10 años.
He estado en ambos lados, técnico y de desarrollo comercial y empresarial.
He creado este curso porque he notado la necesidad de instaladores y emprendedores de más conocimientos sobre la industria de la energía solar.
Creo firmemente que el mundo necesita energía limpia y, al mismo tiempo, esto debe ser sostenible.
Necesitamos más personas para unirse y cubrir lo que el mundo necesita.
¡Por eso queremos que te unas y le cuentes a tus amigos sobre nosotros y que también se unan si están interesados en la energía solar!
