Description

In this 3-day advanced course, you’ll learn how to grow from residential to commercial PV markets.

We will explore key components of commercial systems, such as the latest module technologies, 3-phase grid-tied and hybrid inverters, high voltage batteries, and the integration of generators into grid-tied systems.

You will master the design of commercial PV systems with or without battery storage, including load profiles, site assessment, system sizing, component selection, wiring diagrams, grid integration, and the SSEG application process.

And together we’ll examine typical obstacles that arise during project implementation, including project organisation and problem-solving strategies.

Additionally, you’ll gain hands-on experience using software like PV*SOL premium and Excel to size commercial systems based on real-life installations.

This comprehensive approach ensures you're well-prepared to succeed in the commercial PV sector.

Ronald Baxter

I'm from SANRAL Technical Innovation. We are expanding on our road network so we have a few renewable energy sites and therefor we need the best design so myself and two of my colleagues attended the course. And it was really fun! We had workshops and hands-on experiments with the tools. Thank you very much! It was a really well presented course and I really enjoyed it!

I did the Sunrise Intermediate course in 2014. We were a plumbing company and wanted to become a solar company. After 6 months we set up our own operation, paid school fees in the early years, went to China and ended up now using Victron. I am now the biggest seller for Victron equipment in Africa and the second biggest in the world. When I started, the course gave me an understanding in how to approach solar. A tip I give to all the people I get requests from is to take advantage of opportunities at the time!

I highly recommend whoever is interested in solar energy, maybe as a consultant or as a technician or just a project manager. So for me the academy has done a great job, in fact it’s align to my future going forward in terms of business opportunities. Thank you very much!
