Description
Are you interested in generating your power off the grid? This clear and comprehensive course teaches you how an off grid energy systems works, and which design options and considerations you should be aware of.The video lectures implement the new Person-In-Presentation [PIP] format, whereby you watch both the instructor and the Dynamic Course Presentation at the same time: Boring lectures are a thing of the past.
This course provides you with solid and concise information, presented in a pleasant and enjoyable format: No more procrastination! Your course instructor is Jesse Gorter: A Renewable Energy Engineer with over 10 years of experience in the design and installation of Off Grid Energy Systems.
You will get a full understanding of all the topics related to Off Grid Energy Systems, brought to you in three [3] sections which each have three [3] subtopics: All you need to know in nine [9] chapters!
Generation [Section A]
- Solar Panels
- Generators
- Alternators
- Batteries
- Charge Controllers
- Fundamentals of Electricity
- Inverters
- Wiring
- Fuses & Breakers
You will learn the relevant material through small ‘chunks’ of video lectures of a few minutes each. After each lecture you have the possibility to test your knowledge through an [optional] multiple choice question.
