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."
