Our Solar Professionals Certificate program offers technical, online, and hands-on pathways to help you master PV design and prepare for certification.
Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) technology is advancing through innovations like supercritical CO2 power cycles, improved thermal energy storage, and AI-driven optimization, aiming for higher efficiency and lower costs in renewable energy production.
Solar energy can be harnessed two primary ways: photovoltaics (PVs) are semiconductors that generate electricity directly from sunlight, while solar thermal technologies use sunlight to heat water for domestic uses, to warm buildings, or heat fluids to drive electricity-generating.
Solar power, also known as solar electricity, is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV) or indirectly using concentrated solar power.
Solar farm operators require a reliable, open, scalable and integrated automation platform with a power plant controller (PPC) specifically designed to monitor, operate and manage assets at a single site or a fleet of sites.
The increase in solar PV capacity is set to more than double over the next five years, dominating the global growth of renewables. Low costs, faster permitting and broad social acceptance continue to drive the accelerating adoption of solar PV.
Solar technology is evolving quickly. Our 2025 guide explains the latest advances like TOPCon, HJT, and back contact panels. Learn how each performs in efficiency, durability, and real-world applications.
Parabolic troughs are the most mature of the concentrating solar power technologies and they are commercially proven. The first systems were installed in 1912 near Cairo in Egypt to generate steam for a pump which delivered water for irrigation.
Offshore solar uses similar technology to land-based solar but the modules and inverters are mounted on floating substructures and are secured to the seabed with mooring lines and anchors. The generated electricity is transmitted to shore via subsea cables.
