About Course
This course, Electrical and Solar System Fundamentals, provides a practical introduction to the building blocks of electrical and solar energy systems. It begins with the basics of electricity—covering voltage, current, power, energy, and circuit laws—before progressing into interactive simulations using the EveryCircuit software. These simulations allow learners to visualize circuit behavior and strengthen their understanding of electrical principles.
The final section introduces solar PV systems, exploring their core components—solar panels, batteries, charge controllers, and inverters—along with key performance factors such as efficiency and system design considerations.
Whether you are a student, aspiring solar professional, or enthusiast, this course equips you with the foundational knowledge and practical skills needed to confidently explore more advanced solar design and system integration topics.
