Mastering Solar PV Systems Design and Sizing

“Mastering Solar PV Systems Design and Sizing” is a comprehensive, hands-on course designed to equip learners with the practical knowledge and technical skills needed to design, size, and understand modern solar photovoltaic (PV) systems.

Spanning five rich modules, this course begins with foundational concepts of how solar energy works, demystifying key electrical terms and the sun’s role in energy generation. Learners will then explore each core component of a solar PV system—panels, inverters, batteries, and charge controllers—while also understanding how to configure systems in both series and parallel formats.

The course places a strong emphasis on accurate system sizing, teaching how to evaluate energy needs and align them with the correct capacity of solar equipment. You’ll learn how all components work together, including the calculations needed to match solar input with consumption demands.

Additionally, you’ll gain fluency in interpreting electrical schematics and applying conversion units, crucial for translating theoretical designs into real-world installations. Safety is not overlooked—practical lessons on protective devices, common safety rules, and how to properly use a safety harness are included.

Whether you’re a beginner hoping to enter the solar industry or a technician looking to upskill, this course offers the clarity, tools, and confidence to design and size PV systems for residential and commercial use. Each module includes a short quiz to reinforce learning and a curated list of further reading for deeper exploration.
