RAK2SEI is really excited about our training partnership with the RAK Research and Innovation Center!   We will be offering PV 101: Solar Electric Design and Installation (Grid-Direct) class  – Feb. 19th! There is still time to register – click here to enroll today!

This training location is only a 1 hour drive from Dubai International airport and is only 30 minutes south of the city of Ras al Khaimah.  RAK Research and Innovation Center is a research center for solar and renewable technology development that’s a part of the American University of Ras al Khaimah and they have a long history and expertise in the solar sector.  RAK is the premier location to see first hand experiments in PV systems, micro-grids, grid connected, off grid, PV dust studies, solar thermal, solar desalination, building insulation testing and many other tests that are driving our industry forward.

Another really exciting aspect to this partnership is the actual training location.  They have build a new classroom training center on site so our instructors and students can spend time in the classroom and then walk out and tour some of the existing systems on site.

About SEI’s PV101 Course:
PV101 is your gateway to a career in the solar industry. It all starts with the fundamentals, and a solid understanding of various components, system architectures, and applications for PV systems. Other topics include site analysis, system sizing, array configuration, and performance estimation; electrical design characteristics such as wiring, overcurrent protection, and grounding; a detailed look at module and inverter specifications and characteristics; mounting methods for various roof structures and ground­mounts; and an introduction to safely and effectively commissioning grid­-direct PV systems. This course focuses on grid-­direct PV systems, the largest and fastest growing segment of the PV industry, but covers material critical to understanding all types of PV systems. These core concepts are expanded on in SEI’s upper ­level PV courses, which focus more specifically on particular system types, applications and design methodologies.
