This course provides you with an introduction to the fundamentals of solar energy as it applies to solar panel system installations.
You'll learn how solar power compares to other energy resources and explain how solar panels, or photovoltaics (PV for short), convert sunlight into electricity.
You will be able to identify the key components needed in a basic photovoltaic (solar panel) system, such as that found on a home or building, and explain the function of each component in the system.
You will also learn how to calculate the electrical demand of a building, how to reduce the overall demand, and then how to design a solar panel system that can meet that annual demand in a given location.
You will also compare the different types of pricing models that are used and the key regulatory considerations for grid-tied systems (where a home or building is connected to the power grid and also generates electricity from solar panels).
A final design project that involves both a simple audit of a building to determine demand and a selection of components to design a solar panel system to meet that demand.
