Solar Energy Basics and Applications

In recent years we have seen a significant increase in the development and use of Solar Photovoltaic (PV) energy in both industrial and residential applications. The increase is accounted for both by economic considerations and environmental concerns. This course is designed for beginners interested in investing in their own solar systems (e.g. homes, recreational vehicles, boats, etc.), as well as people seeking to enhance their knowledge in solar electric power production and PV systems. We will start with the fundamentals of solar energy conversion and solar cell operation. We will calculate the size of solar array for selected applications and select the correct components for the Solar PV system. The economics of solar cell applications, especially in our Northwest region will also be covered.
