About the Course

This course gives you an introduction to the fundamentals of solar power as it applies to solar panel system installations. You will learn to
compare solar energy to other energy resources and explain how solar panels, or photovoltaics (PV for short), convert sunlight to electricity.
You will be able to identify the key components needed in a basic photovoltaic (solar panel) system, such as is found on a house 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 at a given location. You ...
