Solar Energy for Engineers, Architects and Code Inspectors Specialization by University at Buffalo
Solar Energy for Engineers, Architects and Code Inspectors Specialization by University at Buffalo covers an overview of solar photovoltaics (PV), as well as the complexities of solar system design and a framework for managing solar PV projects. Engineers, HVAC installers, architects, and building code inspectors will find it useful, as will anyone interested in a career in the rapidly increasing renewable energy industry of solar power.
The courses cover how PV works and the anatomy of solar electric systems, as well as the economics of solar power, the benefits and drawbacks of various systems, design considerations, and basic code compliance. In the United States, materials mostly focus on solar PV.
Theoretical knowledge will be applied to projects at the end of each course. System Analysis (course 1), System Design (course 2), and System Compliance (course 3) are among them (course 3). Students learn how to calculate PV system size, analyze solar PV system layouts and prices, and identify appropriate system design and labeling needs through projects.
