These other types of Solar Installations Packages include Ground built, Commercial Installation, Solar Street Lights, Distributed Energy System, Building Integrated Photovoltaic Systems, Car Ports Solar Farm etc.
Highlights will be made of the products or components that enable each of these Solar energy systems function properly and be fit for its purpose.
It is important to remember that each system is unique in its size and structure and function, it is therefore important to know that application of a photovoltaic array will differ from one system to another system. Procurement of the right components should be a must for all Solar Installers. Method to do this correctly will be taught in this course.
