About

In this Solar Energy - Photovoltaic (PV) Systems course at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) you will learn how to turn solar cells into full modules; and how to apply full modules to full photovoltaic systems.

Overview

Key facts

The Solar Energy - Photovoltaic (PV) Systems course at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) will cover design of photovoltaic systems, such as utility scale solar farms or residential scale systems (on/off the grid).

You will learn about the function and operation of various components including inverters, batteries, DC-DC converters and the grid. After learning about the components, you will gain an understanding of the main design decisions to be taken when planning a real PV installation with excellent performance and reliability.

Finally, you will practice modelling the performance of a PV system for different solar energy applications, and estimating the energy production of client's potential system.

MicroMaster Program

This course is part of the Solar Energy Engineering MicroMasters Program designed to cover all physics and engineering aspects of photovoltaics: photovoltaic energy conversion, technologies and systems.

Programme Structure
