About the Course

This course offers you advanced knowledge within the field of photovoltaic system technology. We'll learn about the solar resource and how photovoltaic energy conversion is used to produce electric power. From this fundamental starting point we'll cover the design and fabrication of different solar cell and module technologies, the various photovoltaic system components, how to design a photovoltaic plant and carry out energy yield simulations, essentials in energy economics, O&M and reliability assessment, as well as the role of photovoltaic energy in sustainable energy systems. This course is unique in that it takes you from the nanoscale physics of a solar cell to the modelling of a utility scale solar farm. The course is made up of 9 sections with an estimated workload of 2-3 hours each. The academic level is targeted at master students at technical universities and engineers from the energy industry. Passing this course offers you a great basis for a career in the field of photovoltaics....

incredibly informative but also very fast in explanations - i would increase the reading material and the examples to support individual study

This course is an example of what you regard as "we came, we saw and we conquered". This course will test your motivation level. Some of the exercises can take a whole day to crack but at the end its worth it. I was really quick to share my certificate on Linkedin because it was a tough battle. I recommend that sufficient examples be made on the calculations to further aid understanding as it would go a long way to encourage learning.

Good overview of PV systems, from the atom theory (requires bases of physics/chemistry) to practical installation considerations. At times, some presenters are hard to follow due to the quality of recording and the density of the jargon used.

Some of the more technical information and formulae would benefit from worked examples in the notes to the lectures. This would help students understand better how to solve problems and see practical application of the theory.

Good Course, Nice Deep Dive into all the systems/physics.

Partially very difficult to understand. (Week 5)

Initially, the course is excellent. I worked in PV and renewable finance and the course complemented my knowledge. However, as the course progresses, teachers/narrators change and their voices become ever so slurred and less enthusiastic/clear.

Would have liked that the entire course was taught by the same professor.

Unfortunately, only two of the teachers have sufficient English proficiency. As for the others, they're hard to understand and that lowers the overall quality of the course. Thanks.

The quizes were over the top difficult with questions not clearly explained in the video. Using the forum did not help either as clearly a lot of people were having the same issue, but again a clear description of how to solve the problems was never provided. This reminded me way too much of being back in college when a grad student was trying to teach a subject that they might know very well, but they are not trained to teach. Not everyone who knows a subject, can teach a subject.
