Course Description
The Solar Energy course (from zero to complete design), will give you exactly what you need to know about solar systems to start your career path or build your own system
One of the MOST IMPORTANT features of this course is that you will learn the design through specialized design software (PVSYST & SketchUp) through which you can visualize the shape of the system and analyze the shadow, and calculate the energy yield
In this course, you will learn what the solar system is and what its main components are, and explain each of them in a practical way
You will also learn the simple installation procedure of the practical system, aesthetics, and appearance
With the practical examples, you will be able to build full Visualization about the real field and how you can deal with it professionally
You will learn how to price the system in an easy way and the calculation of a simple Payback period
You will also be able to make a technical and financial report professionally for your customers or the company you work with
Introduction to solar energy world and design
the solar energy course is your course to enter the solar energy field as a beginner
the benefits of this course are how to use Sketchup and PVsyst softwares in your simulation and design

Work experience
Najdeah has been working in the solar energy field since 2017 in the designing phase, implementation, development of small companies, and management of projects. Also, he is a certified energy manager (CEM®) and certified energy auditor (CEA™) from the association of energy engineers (AEE).
working stages :
The designing phase includes more than 15 Mw as cumulative projects in both mechanical and electrical parts. some of these projects were provided for several Arab countries such as:
– Yemen
– Saudi Arabia
– Egypt
The projects are divided into ON-GRID, OFF-GRID, Zero Export, Hybrid, and Pumping systems.
The implementation phase includes more than 5 Mw as cumulative projects divided into Rooftop, Ground Mount, Car park, and Corrugated sheets.
The development phase includes two companies in Jordan that specialized in Solar energy and one company that specialized in Consulting and Providing solar mounting structures. we did provide for Jordan market more than 3 Mwp steel structures in 2020. and more than 2 Mwp design and consulting services for several Arabian markets in 2020.

The course is quite excellent despite some mistake in slides. Such as Current increase with temperatures and Voltage decrease with temperatures, I am sure these are linguistic mistake and you can repair that. However, you kneed to elaborate more on software use ( PVsyst and Sketchup). Thank you

More details for P.S.H for countrys(for example Albania, Kosova etc) that doesnt include that webiste. More material for wiring size. And a report that include all points together. And I have question, why when you find Vmp(60grad celsius), you did=36.8+4.96=41.76. Because we learnt,whem temp high voltage drop. Is correct 36.8-4.96=31.84Vmp(60grad celsius).

It was really wonderful course incorporating all aspects of solar energy design - from inception to final reporting. I have learned a lot from it. Thank you very much for offering me this opportunity.

Given the length of the course, one should definitely expect just a good summary introduction to enable you to understand the procedures with sufficient details and information to be able to get started on designing a system of your own. Throughout the lectures, i had some questions for the lecturer, most of which were pointed our by previous course takers and answer provided by the lecturer.

The course is useful and you learn as you go. However, teacher needs to add some details of the software he uses, and the reason why he uses those software packages in a clearer way. I wish he would take one example from start to finish, rather than the current disconnected chapters.
By Manoj Payani on 8/14/2019
The course I felt was hurried. I wished there was some more detailed information in the SketchUp and PVSyst design videos. Like making different designs, creating user-defined components etc. Also, a lot of information was just told as mere facts, why the assumption was made and how the assumption came to be was lacking. A little more emphasis on Section 3 and 4 will be nice for future courses.

This course was a good match for me. It was a simple and quick overview of solar PV design, while addressing important points. The additions of sketchup and pvsyst were great, and was why I chose the course over other ones. Many Thanks, Leif

Simple to understand, and covers the basics of a solar professional's job, though i wish more detail could have been given to real scenarios (an actual project design on PVSYST with auto-cad and sketch-up) which would have been helpful, the course is good and i would recommend it, thank you for taking your time to make it.

This online based solar system design course is really helpful and very much informative. But, it would be really great if this course could discuss details design criteria and system cost including a battery storage system.
By Salim Al Amin on 3/3/2019
I learned a lot through this course. No matter you are a beginner or experienced, this course will teach you everything you want to learn regarding solar energy system design and installation.
