Following the success of the recently launched KSC-SESP Photovoltaic (PV) Design School and the overwhelming interest from within KAUST, we are delighted to announce the second PV Design School, which will be held November 14-18, 2021 for KAUST staff and students, organized in close collaboration with our partner Saudi Electric Services Polytechnic (SESP) and KAUST Innovation.
The KSC-SESP PV Design School provides an opportunity for engineers to receive certification, enabling them to work as PV designers in the Kingdom’s industrial PV sector. This accredited course introduces health and safety, pre-design and audit considerations. It covers fundamental principles of PV energy conversion for the design and application of established and emerging photovoltaic technologies. In addition to lectures, participants receive extensive computational training on commercial PV design tools and hands-on training in KSC’s educational PV labs.
KAUST students who are interested in a career in the Kingdom’s industrial PV sector and who hold a bachelor degree in engineering are invited to register. KAUST staff seeking to extend their knowledge of PV design are also invited to register for this special session.
Upon completion of the accredited training, participants are eligible to sit a final exam held by the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC). Successful examination candidates will be certified PV designers, allowing them to work in KSA’s industrial PV sector.
Registration for the school is open until Wednesday November 10.
If you are interested in attending, please send an email to faisal.wali@kaust.edu.sa
Note: Places are limited. However, further KSC-SESP PV Design Schools will be announced in due course.
