"The Applying Renewable Energy - Complete Overview programme provided knowledge of renewable energy fundamentals, essential solutions, equipment configuration for various generation systems and related economics. It will be useful for engineering consultants in energy potential assessment projects and who develop financial models for alternative generation."

Andrii Balaniuk, Applying Renewable Energy - Complete Overview, 2022

"Great course!
Gives you a pretty good amount of information of all topics that you would like to gain in a course. I really enjoyed writing about whatever I feel like writing during assignments as it made me learn more about renewable projects in my own country and gain even more information. I loved that the course was simple, flexible and easy to follow. Although attendance was not mandatory, I enjoyed watching the lectures and doing the self assessment tests to make sure I finish the courses with the information and material that I wanted to learn in the first place."
