PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER GENERATION AND APPLICATION PPGA2
Duration Of Course: 2 Days
Course Location: Lagos
Course Description: The course concept covers both technical and most essential theoretical aspect of power generation through photovoltaic cells, and consequent application of the power generated.
Laboratory analysis of the characteristics of photo cells and other system design component parts makes the learning a bit advanced and interesting, but exposes the engineer or a re-trainer to a level of knowledge that will enable great information impact on students with confidence.
It is simply an advanced or extension of PPGA1.
Who Should Attend This Course?
This course is meant for qualified engineers or graduates with knowledge of Physics or basic electricity. It is extremely recommended for both high school and university students and lecturers. Graduates who attend this course during or after youth service will enhance their ability to secure jobs faster or start their own company.
Equipment Used:
Labvolt and Edibon training systems with tropicallised, assembled and functioning set of solar energy systems.
