We present basic principles of solar energy production, solar irradiation, and the most used material options in different solar technologies such as in silicon solar cells, thin film solar cells, organic solar cells, dye solar cells, perovskite solar cells, and tandem systems. The latter half of the course covers designing solar energy systems, their economic principles, integrating solar energy to the power system, and the sustainability aspects regarding solar energy. The students will design their own (fictional) solar energy system as a project work.","valueEn":"This course presents an overview of different solar energy technologies and their interaction with the power system and wider society.
