2nd International PhotoVoltaic Systems Summer School (PVSSS) @ TU DELFT
[SUMMER SCHOOL]
Delft, NL July 1-8, 2018
The 2nd nternational PhotoVoltaic Systems Summer School (PVSSS) is a 1-week long summer school. iT is intended for attendees holding at least a MSc degree and it aims to give theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience on different technical and installation aspects of photovoltaic systems (design, installation,horizon, monitoring and norms)
The Summer school will feature:
* | A stimulating opening session given by prof. dr. John Schmitz (Dean EEMCS faculty at TUDelft, NL); |
* | A series of fourteen 45-min long lectures (~10.5 hours of theory), given by experts in solar energy from both TU Delft and other (international) universities; |
* | An inspiring plenary talk given by dr. A. Bett (co-director at Fraunhofer ISE, DE); |
* | Ten 2.5-hours long practical sessions (25 hours of hands-on), hosted in the PV Laboratory of the PVMD group at TUDelft; |
* | An afternoon tour visiting three PV companies in the area of Delft and The Hague (Kipp&Zonen , Exasun and Eternal Sun); |
* | Three social events |
The fee per person includes:
