Grid-Tied SOLAR ENERGY course: Batteries & Storage [2022]




Grid-Tied SOLAR ENERGY course: Batteries & Storage [2022]

Hello Solar Energy Enthusiast!


My goal is to make sure you will enjoy this course! Since you are reading this, it means you are looking for a reliable source of information related to grid-tied solar energy systems: Through this course, I will share with you my extensive knowledge and experience.


And lucky you! Through this course you will get a condensed version of all the fundamentals you need to be aware of. I have included several short multiple choice questions, though which you can self-test whether you have absorbed the knowledge adequately throughout the course. And to spice it up, we will also take numerous virtual excursions to websites of manufacturers of different components of your solar system. Through this approach, we makes sure that we bridge the following gaps:

  • We make sure that you get the relevant and unbiased knowledge from an experienced professional

  • You have the possibility to test your knowledge and freely browse through the content of the course as per your preferences

  • We will bridge the gap between theory & real-life examples by reviewing numerous product options which you might come across as you will be shopping for your system components

I am glad you are interested in this course: It will teach you all the relevant knowledge, without any 'fluff', and includes several brief multiple-choice questions to test your knowledge.


I have created this course for you, fueled by my academic background in Renewable Energy Engineering and extensive field experience in the design and installation of PV Energy Systems. You are getting a very good deal: I will summarize for you all that I have learned over the years, and all you have to do is push the button and starting soaking up the information. Lucky you!


During this course, we will review and learn about the following topics:

  • The five pillars of a grid tied solar energy system with battery energy storage

  • The controllers and hardware included in the system
