SEMI India in technical collaboration with the National Centre for Photovoltaic Research and Education (NCPRE) at IIT Bombay presents a short course:

"Rooftop PV Power Plant Design and Implementation"
15-16-17 May 2013
MCCIA Trade Tower, ICC Complex,
403, Senapati Bapat Road, Pune 411 016

The rooftop PV market potential in India is enormous and estimates run up to several GW over the next 5 years. Whether for captive/self-consumption or to feed the grid, rooftop PV is a compelling energy solution especially in those segments of the market where it is already at parity with utility power.

Attend this short course to understand the technology & design of rooftop PV systems, choices and tradeoffs and to learn from experts

The short course is suitable for:

• PV System Integrators
• Entrepreneurs and individuals interested in working in the area of PV, PV system design, installation and deployment
• Practicing engineers interested in understanding PV and PV systems
• Engineers from adjacent electronics areas with an interest in solar PV
• Researchers, academics interested in PV

Please note that while there will be some introductory content, the program is targeted mainly for a technical audience.
