Photovoltaic System Design and Performance Analysis Course

Training Outlines

Introduction

Photovoltaic projects must convert a variable solar resource into safe, reliable and predictable electrical output. Design quality depends on accurate resource data, compatible array and inverter sizing, effective protection, realistic loss modelling and disciplined commissioning.

This course develops a complete PV engineering workflow from site assessment to operational performance analysis. Participants will configure arrays, design DC and AC systems, simulate energy yield, interpret performance ratios and identify causes of underperformance.

Objectives

Assess solar resource and site constraints
Select modules and inverters for defined duties
Configure strings across operating temperatures
Design DC and AC protection systems
Model losses and annual energy yield
Evaluate performance ratio and availability
Plan commissioning and acceptance tests
Diagnose and improve PV underperformance
