Recent Advances in Photovoltaic and Solar Thermal Technologies
Course No. M-2039	Back to Renewable Energy Courses
Credit: 2 PDH
Course Fee: $57.90
Jeffrey Havelin, P.E., B.S.C.E.

Overview

This course is intended to introduce the engineer to some of the latest developments in high-performance photovoltaics and solar thermal technology. Since the Industrial Revolution, fossil fuels—coal, oil, and natural gas—have powered immense technological progress. But supplies of fossil fuels are limited, and continued reliance on them may have significant environmental consequences. Fortunately, there are alternatives. The most powerful one is right over our heads.

The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of fifteen (15) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
