Shortest Possible Path to Profitable PV—Spring 2K11
This semester’s UC Berkeley Extension course on getting to feasible commercial and investment PV projects faster starts next Saturday, 2APR. The focus is on finding profitable PV projects smarter and faster. Here is the highlights deck:
Using a series of case studies, sample feasibility studies, and a review of technology, financing, sales, and operations and maintenance, we build to a final day when you and your fellow students present your prospective projects. Click here for the syllabus.
Here is the text you will use. Planning and Installing Photovoltaic Systems is technically complete enough that you can really dive in, or just refer to it when needed. I believe this is the best current overview and reference on PV--it covers what is happening in Europe and the world, for PV is a globally applicable technology.
I hope you can join me for this course. First session is Saturday, 2 April from 9A to 5P, then five Tuesday evenings from 630P to 930P, capping off with Presentation Day on Saturday, 23OCT from 9A to 3P with a debrief afterward over pizza and beer w your fellow students.
