Certified Renewable Energy Project Developer: PV-Diesel Hybrid Systems Online Programme Course

This solar PV training course provides a comprehensive roadmap for designing, financing, and implementing hybrid PV systems, combining solar with diesel generators and battery storage. Through interactive modules, you’ll gain practical skills in system planning, financial modeling, and risk assessment—helping you develop profitable, scalable projects.

The solar course also looks into how banks view the risks related to renewable energy projects, and examines the parameters they use to assess any new project’s bankability in order to decide whether they will get on board and finance it. To this end, the PV training includes a checklist for project developers to ensure that potential partner banks receive all the data they require in the way they require it.

What You Will Learn
The programme is structured into three key areas:

Introductory Courses – Build Your Foundation
Before diving into PV-diesel hybrid systems, participants have access to introductory courses covering energy and electricity fundamentals. These courses help build or refresh essential knowledge but are not mandatory or included in the final exam.

Financing & Policy – Navigate the Economics of Hybrid Energy Systems
The core section of this hybrid solar power course focuses on the financial and policy aspects of renewable energy projects, equipping participants with the knowledge to assess feasibility, evaluate investment opportunities, and navigate regulatory frameworks. These courses are mandatory and part of the final exam:

• Renewable Energy Feasibility Assessment & Investment Valuation – Learn to evaluate the viability, costs, and profitability of hybrid energy projects.
• Policy Frameworks for Renewable Energy Power Generation – Explore policies, incentives, and regulations impacting hybrid energy adoption.
• Renewable Energy Project Finance – Gain expertise in structuring and securing financing for PV-diesel hybrid energy systems.

Hybrid Energy Systems – Plan, Implement, and Optimize PV-Diesel Solutions
This section provides specialized knowledge in PV-diesel hybrid system design, operation, and management. Participants will learn how to:

• Assess energy demand and determine the optimal mix of solar and diesel generation.
• Design efficient hybrid systems to reduce fuel consumption and maximize solar integration.
• Implement control strategies and storage solutions for stable and cost-effective power supply.
• Operate and maintain PV-diesel hybrid systems for long-term reliability and performance.

By completing this course, participants will gain the technical, financial, and strategic skills to develop and manage PV-diesel hybrid projects, making energy supply more sustainable and cost-efficient.
