The renewable energy sector is in full international expansion and is increasingly demanding engineers specialized in this field. Therefore, the best professionals in the sector have designed for TECH this complete postgraduate certificate that aims to train professionals with high knowledge in everything that encompasses the Renewable Energy sector, specifically in Photovoltaic Solar Energy, to increase their working position in today's energy market. 

In this sense, the program will study in depth Photovoltaic Solar Energy as an energy source that produces electricity from renewable sources and is obtained directly from solar radiation and, therefore, it is an inexhaustible, non-polluting, non-consuming, free, accessible and silent, modular and flexible source, with low maintenance and a long life.  

In the same way, all the disadvantages of this energy model, such as the reliability of the system, the required surface area and the price, will also be addressed. Likewise, the decrease in the prices of photovoltaic modules will be discussed in depth, as well as the differential technical advantages compared to other types of Renewable Energies, together with the significant increase in solar self-consumption that is occurring and that opens a huge market in the application of this type of renewable energy.  

The postgraduate certificate program aims to specialize students in this technology and its implementation, since Solar Photovoltaic Energy is one of the main Renewable Energies with the greatest expansion forecast until 2030/2050. Solar PV is expected to grow from a current installed capacity of 4.8 GW to 36.8 GW by 2030, more than seven times the current installed capacity.

For all these reasons, this postgraduate certificate in Grid-Connected and Isolated Solar PV Systems integrates the most complete and innovative educational program in the current market in terms of knowledge and the latest available technologies, as well as encompassing all the sectors or parties involved in this field. In addition, the program consists of exercises based on real cases of situations currently managed or previously faced by the teaching team.
