With this 100% online Postgraduate certificate, you will master PVGIS modeling software to analyze the performance and economic viability of photovoltaic systems"

Modeling and Simulation of Photovoltaic Installations has evolved significantly in recent decades, driven by technological advances that have democratized access to sophisticated tools such as PVGIS and PVSYST. These programs not only simplify the design and sizing process, but also allow an accurate assessment of the expected energy production. Given their multiple advantages, it is essential for PV engineers to master these tools to ensure both the technical and economic feasibility of PV projects.

In this context, TECH launches a pioneering and cutting-edge Postgraduate certificate in Modeling and Simulation of Photovoltaic Installations. Under an eminently practical approach, the academic itinerary will provide students with advanced skills to handle the main simulation software: PVGIS, PVSYST and SAM. In this way, graduates will properly size the system components (such as solar panels, inverters or batteries) to ensure that the systems operate optimally and efficiently. It should be noted that the program will include several examples of applications for different types of Photovoltaic Installations, including off-grid and self-consumption systems.

In order to consolidate all these contents, TECH will use its revolutionary Relearning system. This learning method will focus on the reiteration of the most important concepts, ensuring a natural and progressive assimilation by the students. In this sense, the only thing that Photovoltaic Engineering professionals will need is a device with an Internet connection, so that they can access the materials in a personalized way, without any restriction and 24 hours a day. In addition, they will have the possibility of downloading the entire syllabus for storage and future viewing. In this way, specialists will be immersed in a high-intensity experience that will optimize their daily practice and expand their professional horizons.
