• Systematic Product Development covers
product planning and product development
methodologies. Coursework provides
students with a basic understanding of the
structure of technical problems and products
as well as construction guidelines.
• PV Systems describes centralized PV system
components, including basic photocell
function, cell bandwidth, and differences
between individual types of cells and their
effects on efficiency. Additionally, students
will gain insight into all stages of production,
from design and installation to operation and
maintenance, including troubleshooting gridconnected
and stand-alone PV systems.
• Solar Thermal Systems provides an
overview of the components in solar-thermal
energy conversion systems, with an
introduction and detailed explanation of the
design, installation, function, key data, areas
of application and specifications of individual
component parts. Students are introduced
to the full spectrum of solar-thermal system
components, design and installation requirements,
and learn how to judge their quality
and potential areas of application.
• Network Integration of Renewable Energy
introduces students to the fundamentals
of energy networks and different kinds of
renewable energy sources. The technical
aspects of energy sources are explained and
students receive an overview of available
options for electric power converters.
