Learning outcomes

Solar thermal energy is different from photovoltaic solar panels, which directly convert the sun’s radiation into electricity. This Specialisation focuses on one of the primary utilities of solar radiation, which is to produce heat. Solar thermal technologies mimic reptilian organisms in heating under the sun an absorbing material which then transfers this heat to a fluid. This specialisation prepares students to become Engineers in solar industries (solar heating and cooling, solar power plant) or renewable energy project developers.
