The course presents the basics, and advances of solar-PV technologies, and systems. It starts from the basics of energy and the fabrication and then covers the major theoretical, and practical methods for the successful implementation of solar-PV systems for electric energy production. Various modes of operation, load types, system configurations are well covered.

The course also provides several case studies, and the use of computer software for modeling, analysis, and sizing of various solar-PV configurations. The topics of the course are coupled with relevant numerical examples. The course also presents practical sizing methods for the design of solar-PV systems. Relevant standards are considered in the sizing process. The overall outcome of the course is to facilitate the students with the required knowledge, skills, and tools for the successful design, and implementation of various solar-PV systems.
