Solar Energy: From 0 to Expert in 90 minutes

Then this is the perfect course for you.

Discover solar energy's current role and future potential in the global electricity supply

Understand how solar cells work and take a deep dive into the photovoltaic effect

Learn about the current photovoltaic technologies (first and second generation solar cells) and those in development (emeg solar PVs)

Learn about solar cell efficiencies. Is there a theoretical limit

Design a basic photovoltaic system to meet a specific energy need at a specific location.

Discover how cost-competitive solar PV is compared to other renewable and non-renewable electrical power plants. See just how low PV plant costs will soon be.

Links to free, reputable online tools for PV system sizing and project feasibility analysis

Much more... See description for details

No prerequisites are required. All that is a needed is a basic understanding of science and mathematics.

Google the words "solar energy future" and you will find page upon page of articles with the title "The future of solar energy is bright", or something to that effect. Why is this so What is everyone so excited about

This course is designed to answer this question by looking at how solar photovoltaic technology works and how it compares to other renewable and non-renewable energy sources in terms of its abundance and cost. Unlike many online courses, we won't be looking at the mechanics of how to install a PV system, nor will we be diving too deep into the calculations of sizing all of its components (although you will be able to calculate the number of modules you would need to produce a desired power output. You will also be provided with links to free online calculators and free guides if you wish to delve deeper into solar PV calculations).

What is unique about this course, is that it will allow you to fully understand the excitement behind solar photovoltaic technology. After just 90 minutes you will be able to answer the following questions with confidence:
