Thanks to this 100% online Postgraduate certificate, you will efficiently manage photovoltaic projects and ensure their successful implementation"

The energy revolution driven by alternating current solar PV is marking a significant milestone in the transition to a more sustainable and diversified energy system.  A report by the International Energy Agency forecasts that global PV generation capacity will reach 1,300 gigawatts over the next year, reaching a projected annual growth of 20%. In this sense, engineers need to incorporate into their practice the most sophisticated strategies for the design, operation and management of photovoltaic systems. In this way, they will be able to maximize the efficiency of these systems and contribute to energy sustainability.

Within this framework, TECH created a complete and innovative Postgraduate certificate in Alternating Current Photovoltaic Installations. The academic itinerary will focus on the analysis of the components that make up these systems, both in low voltage and high voltage. In this sense, the syllabus will delve into the specificities of elements ranging from transformers or inverters to wiring procedures. At the same time, the program will offer students the most advanced techniques for electrical protection. In this way, engineers will be able to diagnose and locate electrical faults, which will allow for more efficient maintenance of PV systems.

On the other hand, the university qualification is based on the Relearning method, of which TECH is a pioneer. This system uses the reiteration of key content in a natural way, ensuring that the content is retained in the students' memory without the need for memorization. It should be noted that the only thing required to access the Virtual Campus is an electronic device with an Internet connection (phones, tablets or computers). In addition, students will be able to access a digital library full of additional teaching materials to enrich their educational experience.
