org/learn/solar- Basics fundamentals of solar power as it applies to solar 19 hours to
energy-basics panel system installations. You will learn to compare complete
solar energy to other energy resources and explain
how solar panels, or photovoltaics (PV for short),
convert sunlight to electricity. You will be able to
identify the key components needed in a basic
photovoltaic (solar panel) system, such as is found
on a house or building, and explain the function of
each component in the system. You will also learn
how to calculate the electrical demand of a building,
how to reduce the overall demand, and then how to
design a solar panel system that can meet that
annual demand at a given location. You will also
compare the different types of pricing models that
are being used and key regulatory considerations for
grid tied systems (where a house or building is
connected to the electrical grid and also generates
electricity from solar panels). A capstone design
project that entails both the simple audit of a
building to determine demand, and a selection of
components to design a solar panel system to meet
that demand. This course is part of the Solar Power
Installation Specialization. It provides a good
overview of system components and functions, but
uses some simplified assumptions. The other two
topical courses in this specialization entail a more
advanced coverage of site assessment, factors

impacting efficiency, and the sizing, design, and
integration of photovoltaic systems. The
specialization concludes with a capstone project
course of a full site evaluation, photovoltaic system
design, and installation plan. The specialization is
modeled after an on campus workshop that has been
running on the ESF campus for many years, and can
serve as an important step for those who are
interested in working the solar power field for the
certification process to become a Certified PV
Installation Professional, or PV Technical Sales
through the North American Board of Certified
Energy Practitioners (NABCEP).

The various PV technologies are reviewed in
the current context dominated by crystalline silicon
cells. The perspectives of the various technologies
are then analysed in terms of R&D investments.
From a more scientific point of view the basis
of the solar cell operation is presented from the solar
spectrum characteristics. The fundamentals of PV
conversion are summarized. In particular the various
sources of the conversion efficiency limitations are
reviewed.
The solar PV systems, from cells to grids, are
also addressed, with a particular emphasis on the
challenges of grid-integration of PV and the
development of storage technologies.
The environmental and social impacts of PV
are compared to the competing energy sources.
Generally PV is at advantage as referred to other
fossil or renewable sources.
Finally the fast evolution of economics and
financing of PV is presented together with the
current key players, mostly Asian companies.
How do solar cells work, why do we need,
and how can we measure their efficiency? These are
just some of the questions Introduction to solar cells
tackles. Whether you are looking for general insight
in this green technology or your ambition is to
pursue a career in solar, “Introduction to Solar Cells”
is an excellent starting point.

Groupe Renault and ParisTech schools have been
working together for almost 15 years on topics
related to sustainable mobility. Together, they
created two Master programs (Transport and
Sustainable Development in 2004, Mobility and
Electric Vehicles in 2010) and the Sustainable
Mobility Institute Renault-ParisTech in 2009, to
support ongoing changes. Electric Vehicles and
Mobility is the result of this shared history and was
developed from a course delivered within the Master
Mobility and Electric Vehicles, led by Arts et Métiers
ParisTech in partnership with Ensta ParisTech, Mines
ParisTech and École des Ponts ParisTech.
