1.3.9 Switzerland
Switzerland offers the possibility for specific training activities at the universities of
applied sciences. A Master in Energy Systems in which photovoltaics is a part of the
curriculum is offered at NTB (Interstate University of Applied Sciences of Technology) in
Buchs, Switzerland (http://www.ntb.ch/4967).
At ISAAC (Istituto di Sostenibilita Applicata all’ Ambiente Costruito) of SUPSI
(University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland) in Lugano (close to Italy) the
following training courses in the field of energy in buildings and photovoltaics are made in
Italian for professionals in the energy field, engineers, architects, and installers:
- PV in architecture

At NTB (Interstate University of Applied Sciences of Technology Buchs) in Buchs a
course on PV is offered in the continuing education programme
(http://www.ntb.ch/3866.html).
1.4 Other International Activities
There are worldwide numerous training and educational activities involving photovoltaics,
and it is beyond the scope of the present paper to try to list them. Here follows just a few
hints.
In the USA many such activities are found both on a federal and a state level and
addressing elementary, middle, high school levels as well as university level and post
graduate levels. On the federal level one institution, the National Renewable Energy
Laboratory (NREL) (www.nrel.gov) funded by the Department of Energy can maybe be
said to lead educational and training activities in photovoltaics, but there are several such
institutions. On the state level e.g. California has implemented PV training and education
activities on all levels (www.solarschoolhouse.org; www.californiasolarcenter.org).
In Australia the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering at the
University of South Wales (www.pv.unsw.edu.au) is another example of a renowned centre
of excellence for education and training in all aspects of PV technology.
In countries such as Japan, China and Korea training and education in PV can be found
from elementary to post graduate levels in national languages.
