This free online course takes you through the techniques used by scientists and engineers to estimate the quality and quantity of solar radiation received on Earth. This data then helps them to devise the best means and locations to capture the maximum possible energy from the sun. We examine various devices, particularly solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, to demonstrate how they are cleverly engineered to convert solar radiation into electricity.
