I am really learning and the material is easy to understand for a female who is ignorant of this technology.

By Vivian Anthony on 6/19/2026

Section C of the course wasn't explained very well especially the sizing of the PV system although Section A,B Was clearly explained .

By Leo Mellberg Holm on 6/15/2026

You are obviously very knowledgeable. But this needs some real visuals. And some passion in the tone. I felt like you were as bored as I was.

By Siphelele Logan Sithole on 5/12/2026

It's my first course with Udemy and so far I'm learning a lot. No time wasted just straight to teaching and learning.

By Husseni on 3/3/2026

Because it was self explanatory and captured a few of what I’ve come across before. Even though it coming from a region I’m not to familiar with. But in general, I enjoyed the course

By Devaprasad N on 1/27/2026

It is a must course to be taken up by anyone to know about the alternative power options with in reach of our hand.

By Pierre Anthony Medina Wintaco on 1/24/2026

Este curso ofrece un recorrido magistral desde los conceptos básicos de electricidad hasta el diseño avanzado de sistemas fotovoltaicos. Destaca por su capacidad para transformar la teoría compleja en herramientas prácticas de dimensionamiento e instalación, convirtiéndose en una hoja de ruta esencial y altamente recomendada para cualquier profesional que desee dominar la ingeniería de la energía solar con confianza.

By William French on 12/12/2025

So far it is a good match. I am interested in installing a solar project at my cabin. I want to learn how to design and construct the system. I am a retired military engineer, so I have the construction skills needed for the job.

By Kenneth Gray on 12/8/2025

Informational and educational regarding initial learning of solar photovoltaic systems, how they work and the advantages vs. disadvantages of installing a system.

By Udemy User on 11/4/2025

Para iniciar en el tema de los PV systems es muy útil, creo que ensañando lo básico se abren mas preguntas y puedes tomar parte en la conversación

By Ma Andrea Clariza C Ferrer on 12/27/2020

Details are explained clearly and concisely.

By Basil A.ALI on 12/27/2020
