The day will be divided equally between Solar PV and Wind Turbine systems with approx 2 hours given to each technology. Different types of surface mounted and integrated Solar PV and both Horizontal and Vertical Axis Wind Turbines 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. We will also cover integration of combined PV & wind generators as potential solutions for your project.

Delegates are not expected to have an in-depth knowledge
about either system, although it is assumed that
anyone attending will have an interest in one or
the other and may have some prior learning.
Home owners, Local Authority staff, Architects,
Installers, Specifiers, Property Developers, Consultants,
Housing Stock Managers and those who need, or want,
to have a good understanding of Solar Photovoltaic
and Wind Turbine system will find this course very relevant.
Technical terms and system operation will be explained
and anyone with a reasonable level of learning will
follow the explanations. For those with a higher
level of engineering knowledge the tutor can, and
is prepared to, expand the explanation as the audience
mix warrants it.
This seminar will explain the components that make
up each system and what provisions would be required
but will not cover specific installation methods
in detail.
Some Case Studies will also be illustrated. |
More specifically, we aim for delegates to leave feeling confident
in the following topics:
- Understanding of terms
- Types of PV & BIPV systems
- Types of wind turbine
- Requirements for good installation
- Basic sizing and costing
- Capabilities and limitations
- Integration of solar with Wind turbines
- Grant funding available
- Selling surplus electricity
- Where to go for installations
The seminar will be delivered by Tony
Almond, an independent Renewable Energy Systems
consultant and project manager, who has first
hand knowledge of both domestic and commercial
PV and Wind Turbine installations. Having delivered
numerous similar seminars for the RIBA, private
architect practices, residential clients and blue
chip organisations, his technical understanding
of a wide range of energy systems coupled with
a superb presentation style, make him an ideal
tutor.
