##IMAGE##

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 advanced knowledge in everything that encompasses the Renewable Energy sector, specifically in Solar Thermal Energy, to increase their working position in today's energy market.
 
Specifically, this postgraduate certificate is dedicated to Solar Thermal Systems, in their different temperature ranges: Low, Medium and High. Thus, during the training we will analyze what these systems have in common and the use they make of solar energy, transforming solar radiation into thermal energy (heat), which is then harnessed for various uses depending on its temperature range.  

It also addresses the thermal applications of solar radiation, including both non-concentrated and concentrated solar systems, which have been gaining strength in the market in recent years.
 
During the program, special attention will also be devoted to solar thermal power plants, which are currently the most commercially deployed application of concentrating solar thermal systems.  

All these contents will help the professional to understand in depth the functioning of solar energy, which is called to play an important role in any sustainable energy market scheme, so the study of all its applications is crucial for engineers.  In addition, we will study in depth its environmental impact and how to mitigate it through a good project design that allows obtaining an optimal performance with a low impact. 

For all these reasons, this postgraduate certificate in Solar Thermal Energy SystemsSolar Thermal Energy Systems integrates the most complete and innovative educational program on 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. 

Improving your skills in Solar Thermal Energy will allow you to give a boost to your professional career, with a greater scope for successful projects and better results”
