This short course will provide an introduction to grid connected solar PV power systems, components, integration and operation. It will cover concepts, design examples, case studies and best practices.

Attendees may be:

• Practicing engineers involved in solar/PV activity
• Engineers from adjacent industries with an interest in solar PV technology and plants
• Graduate engineers with a keen interest in understanding and working in the area of solar PV technology, systems and applications

Please note that while there will be some introductory content, the program is targeted mainly for a technical and practicing audience

Presenters will be experts from the Industry and IIT Bombay
