The Centre for Renewable Energy CRE is conducting its annual summer training programme on "Solar Energy Fundamentals and Measurements - Hands on solar PV panels" starting from 21/7/2019 and for a period of 3 weeks.

The training course includes;
1- Course on:
a- Physics of Light and Optical Devices
b- Materials and Manufacturing of photovoltaics.
c- Generations and development of photovoltaics.
d- PV system components, sizing and applications.
2- Laboratory work, measurements and reporting.
(this includes using PV analyzer).
3- Using specialized software to design and analyze PV panels.
4- Data Analysis (studying experimentally the effects of the operational environment on the efficiency).
5- Field Visits to industrial facilities.
6- Hands-on-session for making your own solar powered charger at an industrial facility.

This unique course provides trainees with the required skills to join the industry of Solar Energy and gives them all the basics for carrying advanced research on the matter.

The course total cost is 2000 EGP with 25% discount for BUE Students (1500 EGP). Payment is available from Tuesday 9/7 to Thursday 11/7 and from Sunday 14/7 to Tuesday 16/7 from 10:00 to 2:00 at CRE - Building A -BUE (Room 4 Lower Floor)
