What do you picture when you hear the term “renewable energy?” Do you imagine fields of solar panels, giant windmills, or huge hydroelectric dams? Those are all examples of large-scale, grid-tied systems. In this course, we’ll go much smaller and focus on off-grid, stand-alone systems.

1: Everything Is Solar
In this module, we’ll get started by getting familiar with the course and our community expectations. Then, we'll explore the solar spectrum, the Stefan Boltzmann Law, and Wien’s Displacement Law. Each plays a significant role in helping us capture as much energy as we can from the sun. We’ll also explore direct beam and diffuse radiation and consider the implications for solar panel orientation.

por FS6 de fev de 2021
Very informative and as I expected, will recommend to all who wants to know and have clear understanding of renewable energy sources.
por OO20 de mai de 2020
Loved how the course was explained in details but some questions bothering the minds of some of the course takers wouldn't be answered as no platform to interact with the instructor.
Hence the 4 🌟
por SS1 de mai de 2022
Very detailed and informative, easy to follow videos, great you can drop off and back in again without any issue.
por SR13 de jul de 2020
Great course!!! Well presented and organized. You'll end this course feeling confident on designing your own solar system, as well as gaining knowledge in other renewable energy schemes
