    About the Course

    Solar Energy System Design builds upon the introduction to PV systems from Solar Energy Basics course, which included basic system
    components and functions, as well as some basic system sizing using simplifying assumptions. You should at this point have a basic
    understanding of electrical power and energy, be able to calculate the energy needs of a site as well as energy production potential for a PV
    system at a given location under optimal conditions. Much of this course will focus on incorporating on the ground conditions into energy
    production considerations, and how to account for these conditions in system design and equipment selection. By the end of ...
