Subtitles weren't matching most of the time with the audio.Course was Excellent ,learnt a lot. For Further Doubts in the subject whom can we contact \with ? Please share the details .Thank you
It's a great course for those who technically want to start their career in the Solar energy engineering field.
Loved it! Very informative. The only downside is Bernard's accent - but you get used to it.
Very interesting course to go through, examples were provided clearly and explained well.
