Training

In the framework of the European project GOPV, INES -French National Institute of Solar Energy- and the consortium partners organized:

  • a 1st training courses on “Technical Focus on Future SOlar PV System” in October 2020 (on-line)
  • a 3-day summer school on “State-of-the-art PV systems technologies and design”in June 2022 (on-site)

1st TRAINING COURSES – TECHNICAL FOCUS ON FUTURE SOLAR PV SYSTEMS

This training courses aimed to provide PhD students, researchers, engineers, technical managers, trainers to reach best practices and knowledge of sate-of-the-art technologies related to solar PV systems. Partners of the project were involved into organizing and participating to this event that took place in October 2020.

Programme and presentations:
Introduction to GOPV & Global PV Market
PV Modules: Market & Technologies Trends
PV Modules: Bifacial technology 1PV Modules: Bifacial technology 2
PV Tracker: Design & Control 1 | PV Tracker: Design & Control 2
PV Inverter: Design & Performance

SUMMER SCHOOL
STATE-OF-THE-ART PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGIES AND DESIGN

This 3 day-summer-school took place last June 21st 22nd 23rd at Catania University (co-organizer of the event).

  • 3 days of Summer School
  • 2 intensive technical training at Catania University
  • 1 day of visit of ENEL Hub & Lab at Passo Martino
  • All value chain of state-of-the-art solar PV systems have been tackled: from cells to module, inverters, trackers, design and performance analysis, economics and LCOE, environmental analysis and LCA

All lectures done by european expert giving some example or case study linked with GOPV projects and demonstrator.
