Photovoltaic (PV) and Energy Storage
Course Description
Fossil fuels have a limited supply and the easier to reach sources are taken out of the ground, first making a trend for higher prices in the long term. Photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage systems (ESS) are made of materials that are not rare in most cases. As mass-production increases, prices drop faster than expected, as history shows. Energy Storage Systems (ESS) prices are also dropping because of the huge demand for batteries from the electric vehicle industry. This will include PV systems, energy storage systems, grid connections, inverters, charge controllers, microgrids, batteries, site analysis, solar radiation, solar resource, and much more. Taking this training course will keep you informed about the latest trends in technology.

This training course covers photovoltaic (PV) systems, energy storage systems (ESS), and the interactions between these systems and the grid, along with microgrids and off-grid systems. Photovoltaic (PV) and storage are a match made in heaven. Photovoltaic (PV) and lithium batteries have gone down in price tenfold in the last decade, making these systems in a position to further down in price. In combination, it is imminent that these systems will take over the grid in the next ten (10) years.

This training course is designed for energy professionals, engineers or those with a background in aspects of designing PV and energy storage systems. Many power professionals can benefit from quickly adding solar and storage to their repertoire of skills.

This training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

  • Energy and Power Professionals
  • Electricians and Utility Engineers in the Electric and Power Plant Company
  • Mechanical Engineers and Electrical Engineers in the Energy and Power Industry

The participants of this training course will receive thorough live, in-person classroom training on the subjects covered by the course outline with the instructor utilizing a variety of proven adult learning teaching and facilitation techniques. This will include presentations, live feedback and interactions, quizzes, and group discussion.
