The British Academy for Training and Development offers a training course on solar energy systems, as it is one of the most abundant and renewable energy sources in the world. It is a solar radiation that can be used in several things, the most important of which are: the production of chemical reactions, the production of heat and the generation of electricity.

Spread all over the world, it is considered a clean resource that does not cause pollution, and therefore if it is properly exploited and utilized, it will meet a large percentage of the world’s energy needs in the future.

Who should attend? 

• Electrical Engineers.
