Study Guide

Objectives

Learning goals:
- Understand technical functionality of photovoltaic systems
- Understand components related with the photovoltaic systems
- Understand production forecasting, which gives ability to apply energy storages in use to power production market
- Ability to analyze MW-size photovoltaic systems as part of the future power production system.

Content

Solar power complements wind power in energy transition, which in global scale has grown slightly faster than wind power systems. In Finland the wind power systems have been dominating, but at last years the small scale production of solar power has been supplemented with MW-size photovoltaic systems.

Goal of the studies is to provide understanding for the student about the technical solutions related with the matter. Studies include the laws of physics behind the photovoltaic sytems and grow up to bigger scale of matters.
