About
KAUST Solar Center (KSC) is pleased to announce the next edition of the KSC-SESP Photovoltaic (PV) Design School. The event is organized in close collaboration with our partner, Saudi Electric Services Polytechnic (SESP), with support from KAUST Innovation.
The KSC-SESP PV Design School provides a unique opportunity for KAUST staff and students to receive accredited 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.
Upon completion of the accredited training, participants are eligible to sit a final exam held by the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC). Successful candidates will be certified PV designers allowing them to work in KSA’s industrial PV sector.
