This course provides students with the basic principles of photovoltaic and solar heating systems design and installation. The course will discuss evolving policies, technologies and career areas. Students will analyze a site or location and evaluate it for solar applications and be able to describe passive heating and cooling building designs; design a solar water heating system, a solar cooking device, and a solar energy efficiency mode; and diagram a solar thermal electric system, analyze solar manufacturing issues including equipment evaluation and types of collectors and filters; create a cost analysis for a solar powered project; and complete a solar energy project. #E
