The rooftop PV market potential in India is enormous and estimates run up to several GW over the next 5 years. Whether for captive/self-consumption or to feed the grid, rooftop PV is a compelling energy solution especially in those segments of the market where it is already at parity with utility power.Attend this short course to understand the technology & design of rooftop PV systems, choices and tradeoffs and to learn from experts
| The short course is suitable for: |
|
PV System Integrators |
|
Entrepreneurs and individuals interested in working in the area of PV, PV system design, installation and deployment |
|
Practicing engineers interested in understanding PV and PV systems |
|
Engineers from adjacent electronics areas with an interest in solar PV |
|
Researchers, academics interested in PV |
Please note that while there will be some introductory content, the program is targeted mainly for a technical audience.
