Our Verdict
The Complete Solar Energy PV Design Course From Zero To Hero offers extensive insights into off-grid and on-grid systems from the ground up. It delves into solar water pumping design while enriching students' comprehension of software tools like AutoCAD, ETAP, and PVsyst. However, be prepared for some linguistic challenges and a missing emphasis on specific standards used in system sizing. Although some may argue that the course title overpromises, completing this Udemy training sets you on a steady path towards understanding solar energy design fundamentals.
What We Liked
- Comprehensive coverage of solar energy design, from fundamentals to advanced topics
- Detailed explanations of how to design off-grid, on-grid, and solar water pumping systems
