Our Verdict
After carefully reviewing the feedback, it's clear that this course offers a solid foundation in understanding off-grid solar energy systems and their electrical components. However, it underdelivers on design and operation expectations with some areas taught too broadly and basic for users desiring more depth as they progress towards actual system implementation. Considering the expertise of the instructor, there's potential for future courses that cater to advanced learners keen to dive deeper into solar power system design, safety procedures and hands-on product selection guidance.
