Corse name is very good, But the content cover by the the person and explanation is not good enough. in some topic they said directly this happen, but not explain why this happen.

By Ganesh on 6/3/2025

Taking up this course, made me understand solar better. It was a detailed lecture, had almost all the information required. Kindly dub with a clear audio, it's inaudible at some points.

By Nafida Beegum PP on 2/11/2025

The lecturer pronounciation is not good

By Obadimu Adewunmi on 7/14/2024

The explanation is clear and concise. maintaining simple communication. but video graphical quality can be improved on. thanks for the lectures

By Eric Lau on 7/11/2024

Good, but can be better if there is a trial licence copy of PV Sol to practise thereafter.

By Prof. Fathy Abdelkader on 7/2/2024

This course is very nice. I have just finished the first section. The animation is nice looking. Lot's of information is interesting for me. The caption is not bad. I will continue watching.

By Ali Ibrahim on 6/14/2024

Yes, It's very good good practical course. I liked it covers the financial analysis. Also spreadsheet is very good. I would suggest to add more exercises. I also faced some problem with captions. I would ask for these errors to be fixed. But The overall course is good.

By Mohamed Farahat Abdelsattar on 4/26/2024

The course contains a lot of wonderful information. It is clear that a lot of effort was put into preparing the course. It really exceeded expectations.

By Ahmed Mahmoud Ismail on 4/23/2024

It contains all the necessary data starting from basics and progresses to advance levels. The course structure is very useful to facilitate rapid learning and give great practical examples for reinforcement of knowledge. Personally, it provided me with a fantastic opportunity to acquire an in-depth understanding of solar photovoltaic technology within a limited timeframe. The caption typos are fixed. I would only suggest the teacher to add one more section to describe the earthing design and calculation for PV system as it's very important in design.

By Mahmoud Elsaid on 4/3/2024

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 system cost including a battery storage system.
