Interest in Renewable Energy, especially Solar PV, is at an all time high. Ofgem figures show that by 19 November 2010, 15,468 installations had registered to participate in the FIT scheme, the vast majority of which were Solar PV.
This course will give you a background on Solar PV; from the types of systems, installation and running issues, to capabilities and limitations.
About the training course
This one day training course provides an introduction to Solar PV and includes examples of how the FIT will affect payback. Different types of surface mounted and integrated Solar PV will be illustrated and their workings explained.
Theoretical and deliverable power outputs will be discussed and a rough sizing, costing and investment return (including the impact of the FIT) will be worked through.
