With this 100% online Postgraduate certificate, you will manage the most innovative strategies to optimize the performance and energy efficiency of the systems”

DC solar PV has revolutionized the global energy landscape, driven by the significant decrease in technology costs and the growing demand for renewable energy sources. In this regard, experts forecast that the installed capacity of this electricity will continue to expand at a compound annual rate of 14%, exceeding 1.5 terawatts in the coming years. This underscores the increasingly crucial role of solar energy in the transition to a low-carbon economy. In the face of this, engineers must offer sustainable and cost-effective energy solutions to stand out in the market.

Against this backdrop, TECH has created a pioneering Postgraduate certificate in Direct Current Photovoltaic Installations. Designed by specialists in this field, the academic itinerary will delve into the components that are part of photovoltaic systems (including optimizers, regulators or electrical protections). Along the same lines, the syllabus will analyze battery selection criteria, which will enable graduates to minimize energy losses during charge and discharge cycles. In addition, the program will provide students with the most advanced techniques in DC electrical protection. In this way, professionals will prevent electrical events that could cause serious damage or jeopardize the integrity of the systems.

On the other hand, in order to consolidate the mastery of the syllabus, this university program applies the revolutionary Relearning teaching system, of which TECH is a pioneer. It promotes the assimilation of complex concepts through their natural and progressive reiteration. Likewise, the program is nourished by materials in different formats, such as infographics or explanatory videos. All this in a convenient 100% online modality, which allows each person to adjust their schedule to their responsibilities. All graduates need is an electronic device with an Internet connection to access the Virtual Campus.
