Raghad
الدورة كانت ممتازة من كل النواحي. المحتوى كان شامل ومتنوع ومرتب وبيغطي كل شي بتحتاج تعرفه عن أنظمة الطاقة الشمسية من الأساسيات، لتصميم المشروع وتركيبه, على عكس الدورات يلي بتكون اونلاين بهاي الدورة ما حسيت بأي ملل بسبب اسلوب المهندس بالشرح التفاعلي و الوافي والسلس .. اضافتلي الدورة كتير مهارات ومعلومات! بعد الدورة هلأ أنا قادرة أبني المشروع من الألف للياء من حسابات لرسم على سكتشأب وبيفي-سيست لقراءة الداتاشيت وقراءة تقرير النظام كامل!

The course was excellent and full of valuable information. Big thanks to Eng. Ala’a for the clear explanations that helped me understand all the details related to PV systems design. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in this field.
Majed
Amazing course from an amazing Instructor, covering important topics that are essential for solar energy engineers.
I gained many useful skills from this course such as: using PVSYST and SketchUP, using tools to determine azimuth angle and string sizing tools.
Thank you Eng. Ala’a for all the hard work put in this course!
