The course deals with various semiconductor materials and their suitability for solar cell manufacturing, absorption of solar radiation in semiconductors and the principles of solar cells and their physics. Different types of solar cells are studied, their characteristics and how they are assembled in photovoltaic modules. Identification and minimization of losses, degradation, as well as the interpretation and use of the module datasheets as well as manufacturing of photovoltaic modules and the use of photovoltaic modules in both off-grid and grid- connected systems are covered in the course. During the course, students study different types of batteries, regulators and inverters. The course ends with computer simulations of photovoltaic systems, the design and selection of components.

Extra information:
Mandatory online meetings will be held according to the schedule.
Surf on the Internet, read and send emails, use a word-processing programme (e.g. Word). Connect a camera and headphones to the computer and install a programme using instructions.
Computer Capacity:
Access to a computer (Not a mini pc, tablet or similar) that is not older than three years (or equivalent) and broadband connection, at least 1 Mbit/s (not mobile broadband, because mobile broadband can vary considerably in speed).
Means of Education:
Higher rate of web-based communication where our learning platform (Learn/Canvas) is a natural element of the course. Web-based meetings with sound and image where simple presentations can be held. Lectures can be broadcast live or can alternatively be made available afterwards online.
