Mini-Grid Solar System Design and Installation Course

The Fanech Technologies Mini-Grid Solar Systems Design and Installation provides detailed technical information and step-by-step methodology for design, installation, testing, and commissioning of grid-connected solar PV systems. The course covers both distributed rooftop and large MW scale projects.

The course includes fundamental principles behind the workings of a solar PV system, the use of different components in a system, methodology of sizing these components to create a well functioning solar PV system, and methodology of evaluating the financial performance of a Mini-Grid Solar System.

The course also includes a description of procedures to conduct site surveys for system sizing, design, and installation and performing testing and commissioning procedures following relevant international standards relating to grid-connected solar PV systems.
