Solar Energy 101: Introduction to Solar PV Systems
e-Learning Online CPD Course

It is no secret that the world is facing some serious energy consumption problems. With the population continuing to grow at an alarming rate, it is estimated that we will need to produce twice as much energy by 2050. Solar energy is a renewable resource that can help meet this demand. It is also a clean and emissions-free source of energy. Learning about solar energy and how to utilize it can help make a difference in the world's energy consumption problem.
Learning solar energy is important because it can help reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Solar energy is a renewable resource, and using it can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gases are responsible for climate change, and solar energy can help combat this issue.

With our solar energy 101 course, you will learn everything you need to know about solar panel installation, maintenance, and repair. You'll also learn about the different types of solar panels and how to select the right one for your needs. After taking our course, you will be able to design and install your own solar energy system. Furthermore, you will be able to help energy consumers save money on their energy bills and reduce their carbon footprint.

What You Will Learn!

This course in Solar PV technology will equip you with the competencies necessary to independently or with minimum supervision designated optimally select components for a solar PV system.
