    Are you involved in Solar Photovoltaics but want to develop a more complete understanding of why it is the fastest-growing clean energy technology? How did we arrive at today's technology and where it is headed? What is a smart inverter? What is the difference between all the new solar cell technologies and are they reliable? How to figure out the payback time with a calculator and 4 numbers? 

    University of Delaware's brand new Solar Energy Academy Professional Certificate Program offers an engaging learning experience designed for those who want to deepen their understanding of solar technology applications and policy.

    Dr. Steven Hegedus
    , PV tech expert and educator with 40 years in the solar workspace will lead participants through five carefully curated modules, exploring the science, manufacturing, applications, and policy behind solar PV -all from the convenience of a virtual classroom. Classes are for three hours on five consecutive Tuesdays from 9 am-12pm.  
     
    He is professor and senior scientist at the Institute of Energy Conversion - University of Delaware who has taught engaging classes and tutorials to a wide range of audiences for decades. 

    Course details and registration are at this link https://dei.udel.edu/sea/

    Thank you

    Thanks for asking. Go to the link and scroll down to "Modules". Click each one for detailed description of the content. ("Modules" here refers to course modules not solar modules). I hope to see some ASES members sigh up!
