The material was interesting and well-taught, well worthwhile. On the other hand, the peer-review process of the capstone project needs to be revisited. The reviews I received for my project were perfunctory and inaccurate, cut and paste jobs, and the reviewers had clearly barely glanced at my submission. The many capstone projects I reviewed were all working off a common online cheat guide, which was extremely disappointing (several people actually posted the link to the same online guide). Tip: If the capstone project you review is for a residence with an area of 241m^2, it's almost certainly a plagiarized project. Of the numerous Coursera classes I've taken, this was by far the most frustrating, as the final grade depends upon people actually taking the peer-review process seriously. Yes, your project can be resubmitted, but to do this you need to perform 3 more reviews yourself. Plagiarized submissions don't count, so you might end up spending considerable time trying to find non-plagiarized content to review. I don't have time for this.

The course is very extensive and complete, covering most of the basic concepts of photovoltaics, from technical/material aspects to financial and employment ones. Some of the concepts and models are confusing as they are a bit out of date and mostly applicable to United States, but can be compared to the rest of the world using links provided. The specialisation isn't enough to guarantee a start in a career in PV, as it points out it is necessary to have other backgrounds in engineering or electricity to manage that goal. But all in all it is a great experience and knowledge achievement, encouraging and rich, giving a feeling of understanding a good amount of basics in this sector, so I strongly recommend it if someone's looking to acquire a first approach into this technology. Looking forward to next specialisations!
