Skills to be acquired in this module

After successful completion of the module students should be able to:

  • understand, describe and compare major technologies for solar energy use: solar thermal and photovoltaic systems
  • analyse various system components and their interconnections within a solar energy system.
  • critically appraise and assess various technologies for solar energy use and components involved in such solar systems.
  • size and evaluate the performance of solar systems as a function of their operation conditions, components and system layout
  • critically evaluate non-technical impact and side effects when implementing renewable energy supply systems
