What are the equations and the calculations that the experienced designer will apply before they hand over the design to the installer to implement the solar system?

This course covers the installation, adjustment, and set-up of photovoltaic power systems and connecting to a supply grid inverter. It includes working safely, installation standards, matching components with that specified given location, placing and securing system components accurately, making required circuit connections and completing the installation.

You will not only learn about PV technology and formulas, but you will also own the most important design tools that allow you to provide accurate calculations for your PV arrays, inverters, circuit breakers, and cable sizes.

This course prepares the learner with the skills to understand energy audits, design, install, set up, test, fault find, repair and maintain grid connected photovoltaic systems and the associated equipment. And allows you to be ready to apply for your local accreditation in grid connect design or grid connect Install.

This course will cover the following topics:

• Electrical basics

• Solar radiation

• PV cells

• Connecting to the grid

• PV modules

• Inverters
