Enroll now and get started in the complete solar energy course
This is not just a regular course, it's complete, intensive, and practical, focused on both technical and commercial sides of solar energy.
Solar Energy is growing exponentially and is growing non-stop, it has already created thousands of jobs in the world. It is getting more complex and more knowledge is needed to differentiate yourself in the industry to land a job or to start your own company.
In this course, you will get A LOT of content and knowledge about solar energy and the industry. Including how to design and size a PV System.
I'm in mechanical engineering and I've been working in solar energy for several years, both in the technical and in the commercial and business development side of the industry.
I have a great overview of both sides and I focused on both in this course. That's why also with the technical information, I'll be talking about commercial tips during the lectures to help you understand how to see the business and where to stand when selling or selling a PV system.
The approach of this course is to go from the components to the system, this means, we’ll start learning each component of the system separately, and then after we understand how each component works, we’ll see the system working as a whole, how each component work on the system and how the system works altogether.
So there we go, an in-depth, complete course on on-grid solar photovoltaic systems, prepared in a very easy to learn methodology, from the components to the system, step by step, focused on both technical and commercial skills.
You will get access to download the excels that we developed to help you calculate the payback period, the solar energy generation of your PV system for different tilts and we show you how to import the irradiance for any location, the energy consumption of your location, the price per kWp of the system that you are quoting and more.
Enroll in our course now! Join the green revolution and become part of the industry!
The goal is to add more value for you and to spread the green revolution, we are firm believers that the world needs clean energy, and at the same time this has to be sustainable
We need more people to join to cover what the world needs, that’s why we want you to join and tell your friends about us and to join as well if they are interested in solar energy!
Join the green revolution and become part of the renewable energy industry!

Soy ingeniero mecánico y he trabajado (y aún trabajo) en energía solar durante más de 10 años.
He estado en ambos lados, técnico y de desarrollo comercial y empresarial.
He creado este curso porque he notado la necesidad de instaladores y emprendedores de más conocimientos sobre la industria de la energía solar.
Creo firmemente que el mundo necesita energía limpia y, al mismo tiempo, esto debe ser sostenible.
Necesitamos más personas para unirse y cubrir lo que el mundo necesita.

Great course. It goes into a lot more depth than expected. I do think the course would be slightly better if it had some more visuals or videos
By George Azar on 11/14/2021
The Accent of the instructor is hard to understand sometimes , It would have been a good option for the instructor to use the help of someone who is fluent and understandable.

I enjoyed the course, I suggest that you use more pictures and drawings. Cheers
By Martynas Karys on 3/23/2021
Very thorough course, i still have some questions, but the instructor is responsive and ready to answer them. This course won't make you a solar energy expert as you need to put these things in practice, but it will cover 90% of what you need to know.
