In the third course you will learn about the potential of solar energy and you will see examples of various implementations of photovoltaic (PV) systems. Starting at roofs, facades, highways or free field systems.
You will also learn how to harmonise solar technology with nature conservation and what alternative ways of engaging people in planning and building these power plants.
One chapter is dealing with the next level of production, with wind power plants from a single cooperative municipal wind turbine to wind farms and details of planning and financing them. you will also find out who are the people behind it and see an example of a women's energy cooperative mainly active in wind energy.
The third element of the energy transition is storage and usage. You will learn about simple stationary storage systems and the so called batteries on wheels, simply integrating electric vehicle batteries in the power system. About cooperative car sharing schemes and charging infrastructures. As last find out about the concept of the innovative energy-sharing.
