About This Program

With the professional understanding of a solar design software in your bag, you are now equipped to create a fantastic sales pitch for your potential clients and you will most likely bag that order too. But what’s next? The job of a solar engineer is not over yet! Once you receive an order from your client, you will need to detail the potential solar plant. You will need to create a Bill of Material, create Build-To-Print drawings for your installation team, and much more.

To detail the solar plant, solar engineers must train to be able to design and calculate all the important aspects of the solar plant such as modules, inverters, cables, circuit breakers, isolators, SPDs, earthing systems, and lightning arrestor systems. This Detailed Electrical Design of Solar Plants program course along with our AutoCAD program, will enable you as a solar engineer to become a complete package. Someone who can handle a solar project from Enquiry to Execution. This online program on electrical design will teach you how to design the DC/AC side of the solar plant, post which you can physically go and construct the solar plant.

Key Takeaways Of This Solar Training

- Understand the core electrical engineering and design of a solar PV plant up to low-voltage AC side
- Design and spec the complete electrical side of the Solar PV System using excel calculators, component datasheets and formulae
- Learn to select modules, inverters, SPD’s, circuit breakers and other electrical components involved
- Learn to prepare a detailed Bill of Material for your solar project
- Prepare a SLD for local approvals and communicating technical schematics without the use of professional solar PV system design software, upto the point of interconnection on the low voltage AC side
- Verify the electrical designs from your contractor/installer

Note: Transformer Selection, Substation design, High Voltage Protection and Switch-gear is out of scope of this syllabus.

Frequently Asked Questions

Language: English

Pre-made/Self-paced/Recorded Videos: Yes

Live/Webinar Classes: There are no Live classes/webinars associated with this course because regular high quality Live classes can only be hosted when there are enough high quality instructors. The solar industry is extremely young and availability of skilled and knowledgeable professionals is not yet mainstream. You would have to significantly compromise on the quality of the instructor if you were to rely on Live/webinar based training as less-experienced instructors are more frequently available to host webinars.

We have taken our time to work with some of the most experienced professionals in the space, and packaged their years of experience into these state-of-the-art online courses.

You will have online access to the videos and the instructor for a period of 3 months. After completion of the 3 month period, you may make a request with the Reo Support Team to share access to the course videos for 7 days, for the purpose of revision. This request can be made once. The course videos are not downloadable.

Every course at Reo is created in collaboration with highly experienced professionals who are actively working in the solar industry. It would neither be fair nor possible for us to offer the students a lifetime access to their expertise, at this fee, in order to respect the time and availability of our instructors.

We have designed 4 different ways through which your performance will be monitored throughout this program.

The following will not be counted towards your final Certification:

2 sets of short progress tests.
Practice case studies.

The following will be counted towards your final Certification:

1 online test [Pass mark required: 60%. Retakes allowed.]
1 practical case study [Pass mark required: 70%. Retakes allowed.]

A Certificate of Completion from Reo will be awarded to the students upon successfully clear these assessments.
