Certified Renewable Energy Project Developer: Photovoltaics
This online programme provides a detailed introduction of how large-scale PV grid-connected systems are planned and implemented.
It covers the most important economic aspects of renewable energy project planning and describes how the most common public policy support mechanisms work. The programme also looks into how banks view the risks related to renewable energy projects, and examines the parameters they use to assess any new project’s bankability in order to decide whether they will get on board and finance it. To this end, the programme includes a checklist for project developers to ensure that potential partner banks receive all the data they require in the way they require it.
PROGRAMME STRUCTURE
Introductory courses
The programme includes access to short introductory courses on energy and electricity topics to provide participants with the opportunity to learn or revise the basics. These courses are not mandatory and are not covered in the exam.
Core courses
The programme contains three core courses on the essential financial considerations of renewable energy projects. These courses are mandatory and are a part of the exam.
- Methodology of project valuation
- Policy Frameworks for RE Power Generation
- Renewable energy project finance
PV planning electives
The elective specialisation of this programme in photovoltaics includes one optional course introducing the various aspects of PV technology and its applications and one mandatory course on the planning of large-scale PV grid-connected systems.
Receive a reminder one week before the registration deadline.
After completing this programme, you will be able to:
- calculate the relevant economic parameters of a renewable energy project;
- decide which support mechanisms are applicable;
- prepare the data required for a bankability assessment; and
- define the necessary steps from planning to O&M for a large-scale PV grid-connected system.
Upon successful finalisation of the training, you will receive a RENAC Certificate.
