Welcome to the Applied Solar Energy Engineering course

Course Content

The first part of the course covers applied electrical and thermal engineering topics as well as applied measurement technique. The detailed topics are chosen in conjunction with the necessary knowledge that is necessary to plan, design, build and test a solar energy technology component such as a solar collector. The first part of the course also includes lectures on technical communication, plagiarism, information search and social barriers related to solar energy technology. In the second part of the course students will plan, design, build and test a solar energy technology system where the knowledge from the previous/parallel lectures and the programme courses on solar radiation, photovoltaics and solar thermal will be applied.

On completion of the course, you shall be able to:

  • Describe and explain for the electrical-, thermal engineering and measurement technique that is required for solar systems
  • Plan, design, build and test a solar energy system
  • Apply fundamental engineering and specific solar engineering knowledge in a critical and systematic manner
  • Communicate engineering work by presenting project results orally and in written form
  • Reflect on social aspects when introducing solar systems
  • Critically evaluate the results of the project.
