• Two-day course aims to empower professionals in solar energy optimisation

EnerG Sustainables, the leading renewable energy consulting firm, announced its specialised training course aimed at equipping professionals with advanced skills in solar system design and implementation. 

The two-day course, scheduled for December 07 and 14, 2024, will be held at the Centre for Housing Planning and Building in Pelawatta, Battaramulla. 

This training programme promises to provide invaluable insights and hands-on experience for individuals seeking to enhance their technical proficiency in solar energy.

The advanced solar system design and implementation course is designed to meet the growing demand for skilled professionals in the renewable energy sector. The course focuses not only on the technical aspects of solar system design but also on how these systems can optimise energy use to achieve long-term profitability and sustainability for businesses. The programme will cover a comprehensive range of topics, including the basic principles of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology, advanced design methodologies and the best practices in system installation and maintenance.

Participants will be introduced to the fundamentals of solar PV technology, with an emphasis on the selection of appropriate components and technologies for various solar systems. The course will dive deep into solar system design, using industry-standard formulas and methodologies to ensure optimal performance and efficiency. Practical software simulations will allow participants to engage directly in the design process, providing hands-on experience with solar system planning and implementation.

One of the unique features of this training programme is its focus on real-world applications through two in-depth case studies. Participants will work through the design and simulation of a 5MW ground-mounted solar project and a 2MW roof-mounted solar project. 

These case studies will provide a practical understanding of how to apply the principles of solar system design to large-scale projects, helping participants refine their skills in optimising system performance and solving common challenges faced in the industry.

The course is ideal for a wide range of professionals, including electrical engineers, solar PV installers, renewable energy enthusiasts and business leaders. 

The course will be led by an experienced team of experts from EnerG Sustainables itself. EnerG Sustainables CEO Channa Silva brings over 14 years of experience in solar energy engineering, project development and management, working with international organisations such as the Asian Development Bank, UNIDO and UNICEF. He will be joined by Prof. Asanka Rodrigo, a professor at the University of Moratuwa, who specialises in electrical installation, safety and energy economics. The team will also include Naleendra Kularatne, a seasoned solar consultant with over 10 years of experience in Sri Lanka’s solar industry, offering expertise in both local and international solar projects.
