The GSES 3 Months Professional Advantage Course on Grid-connected PV Systems Design and Installation is specifically designed to provide detailed technical information and step-by-step methodology for designing, installation, testing and commissioning of a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system. The course covers the fundamentals of solar PV systems, the different components required and the need to match them, and how to size a system. It also includes methods for conducting site surveys of potential installations, system installation, testing, commissioning, maintenance and the economics of grid-connected PV systems. The course is designed around relevant Indian and international standards relating to grid-connected solar PV systems.
Course Structure:
The course consists of two main components: online theory completed at students’ own pace and the 3-days practical sessions held at GSES India training facility at New Delhi. Due to COVID pandemic situation, these practical sessions are now delivered thorugh online interactive sessions. The resource materials provided under the course are highly illustrative and explanations are given with the help of case studies and worked examples. Please click here to learn more about the accompanying handbook.
Online Component: With a fully flexible web-based format, the online course allows students to complete the theory in their own time, usually within 3 months. The online course includes vital knowledge for participating in the practical component. GSES has a team of tutors who mark the online work and as necessary supply feedback or additional technical information to the students. GSES’ tutors are also available to be contacted by phone or email during the day.
Practical sessions: On completion of the majority of the online component, students then attend the 3 -days practical sessions at GSES India training centre at New Delhi. The practical sessions include site preparation, system installation, testing and commissioning of grid connected and off-grid solar PV systems. Student will be guided and assisted by experienced GSES tutors. Due to COVID pandemic situation, these practical sessions are now delivered thorugh online interactive sessions.
Course Outline:
The course has 16 main topics presented so that trainees learn and practice all aspects of designing grid-connected solar systems. Topics contain illustrative reading materials, working examples for study, quizzes and exercises. Various types of quizzes and exercises are provided, including multiple choice, numerical, matching type, short answer and essay.
