16 CDP Approved by ST
COURSE INTRODUCTION
This programme provides a practical overview of photovoltaic systems and the factors that influence energy yield and system selection. Participants compare solar technologies, stand-alone and grid-connected arrangements, module characteristics, Malaysian implementation options and performance considerations so they can make better-informed PV planning and operational decisions. Practical examples and guided discussion help participants connect the subject to decisions and challenges in their own workplace.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
By the end of this programme, participants should be able to:
- Explain photovoltaic-system principles and compare solar-electric and solar-thermal applications.
- Distinguish grid-connected, net-energy-metering and stand-alone PV arrangements.
- Interpret PV module characteristics and factors affecting energy yield.
- Select major system components, including inverters, protection and energy storage.
- Evaluate basic sizing, return-on-investment and project-risk considerations.
- Plan installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance requirements for PV systems.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This programme is suitable for engineers, sustainability teams, facility managers, energy managers, EHS personnel, project owners and technical staff involved in energy, carbon or resource-efficiency initiatives.
