With the current downward price in the development for photovoltaic (PV) projects, there is an increased interest in installing PV systems. Newly-installed peak power of PV now surpasses all other technologies, both conventional/fossil-based technologies as well as renewable technologies.
With this training course, you will learn how to implement projects using one of the most promising energy technologies currently available. You will acquire a solid theoretical and foundational understanding of PV project management, combined with practical hands-on exercises. Our experienced trainers will get you involved in the training and will facilitate valuable group interactions and discussions.
