In this module, you will obtain specific understanding of solar resource, physics and engineering of solar energy system. You will develop an advanced understanding of design, limitation and implementation of Solar Energy Devices focusing on:
(i) advanced knowledge and modelling of solar energy resource analysis,
(ii) physics and limitation of different photovoltaic technologies, (iii) engineering and utilization of solar thermal devices,
(iv) large scale design of solar PV and Thermal power plants,
(iv) risk and mitigation management and
(v) characterization techniques of PV devices.
In achieving this level of capability, you will develop competence for independent solar energy research, design of new solar PV/Thermal farms, and dealing with operational challenges for solar
power plants around the globe. In addition, you will learn to use state-of-the-art computational design/modelling tool routinely used in the industry.
