Commercial PV Design

In this 3-day advanced course, you’ll learn how to grow from residential to commercial PV markets.

We will explore key components of commercial systems, such as the latest module technologies, 3-phase grid-tied and hybrid inverters, high voltage batteries, and the integration of generators into grid-tied systems.

You will master the design of commercial PV systems with or without battery storage, including load profiles, site assessment, system sizing, component selection, wiring diagrams, grid integration, and the SSEG application process.

And together we’ll examine typical obstacles that arise during project implementation, including project organisation and problem-solving strategies.

Additionally, you’ll gain hands-on experience using software like PV*SOL premium and Excel to size commercial systems based on real-life installations.

This comprehensive approach ensures you're well-prepared to succeed in the commercial PV sector.

This advanced training course is designed for PV practitioners with a solid foundation in solar PV fundamentals and grid-tied PV system design. It is also suitable for graduates of our SuperSolarSchool programme.

To prepare for the course, you can watch some tutorials on the basics of PV*SOL premium here.

A participant must have a 90% attendance rate in order for GREEN Solar Academy to issue a certificate for this training.

Anyone looking to advance their PV knowledge and venture into commercial PV design:

• Technicians, engineers and architects with advanced knowledge of solar PV
• PV business owners or planners who want to realise larger PV projects in the commercial and industrial sector
• Advanced professionals who want to specialise in PV design rather than the practical installation
• ECSA-registered engineers (3 CPD points)

• Modules and mounting systems for rooftop & ground-mounted systems >50kWp, generator integration
• Electrical safety for PV systems, anti-islanding, protection devices, lightning, shock and thermal risk protection
• Financial and technical planning for commercial-sized PV systems, procurement
• Exercise on design of a 150kWp rooftop PV system based on a case study
• Storage integration and commercial-sized hybrid inverters
• Expert session with Q&A on a real-life case study
• Design exercise using PV*SOL premium simulation software (trial license included)
