This course discusses on the importance of alternative energy, particularly solar photovoltaic to the world’s energy security problem. Students will learn the fundamental concept photovoltaic system and their roles in the energy conversion process. Problem based learning will be utilised to expose the student into real situation of PV system design with requirements and limitations. The design will focus on not only the technical aspects, but also impacts to financial, cultural, societal or environmental. Emerging technologies in the related field will also be explored.
