DIPLOMA In SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEM AND INSTALLATION(M-SESAI-2604)

What you’ll learn

A solar energy system converts sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) panels. The installation process involves securely mounting panels, wiring them to a central inverter, and connecting the inverter to a home’s electrical panel, often with a battery bank for energy storage

• SYLLABUS OF SOLAR SYSTEM AND INSTALLATION
• Electrical basics: Ohm’s Law, AC/DC power, voltage, current, resistance, and series/parallel circuits.
• Solar energy fundamentals: Solar radiation, sun-earth geometry, effects of weather, and solar energy measurement.
• PV cell and module principles: How PV cells work, performance analysis, module characteristics, and different types of modules.

System design and components

• Load analysis: Determining the energy requirements of a site.
• PV system components: Detailed study of modules, arrays, inverters (grid-tied vs. off-grid), charge controllers, and batteries.
• System sizing: Calculating the appropriate size for a PV system based on energy needs and local solar resource.
• Design principles: Mechanical and electrical design of the system, including mounting structures and wiring layouts.

Installation and maintenance

• Site assessment and preparation: Site evaluation, including checking conditions and collecting necessary tools and materials.
• Installation procedures: Practical training on how to install solar panels, connect components, and follow safety guidelines.
• Testing and commissioning: Performing tests on a completed installation to ensure it is working correctly.
• Maintenance and troubleshooting: Procedures for cleaning panels, checking batteries, inspecting mounting structures, and diagnosing and repairing system faults.

Safety and regulations

• Safety protocols: Workshop, electrical, and general safety guidelines, including handling electrical hazards and first aid.
• Standards and regulations: Understanding and verifying that the system complies with relevant electrical standards (e.g., IEC).

Advanced topics and applications

• Grid-connected vs. off-grid systems: Understanding the differences between systems and their applications.
• Solar thermal systems: Introduction to solar thermal collectors and their applications.
