Certified Photovoltaic Systems Professional (CPVSP)
This course provides comprehensive, hands-on training in designing and simulating on-grid solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems. Participants will engage in interactive Zoom lectures, practical tasks such as site surveys and system designs, and immersive learning through a dedicated metaverse space. Key topics include system components, inverter types, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) functionality, and the overall design and optimization of on-grid systems. Using tools like Photovoltaic System Simulation Software (PVSYST) and SketchUp, learners will gain the skills to create efficient solar PV systems that perform optimally in real-world conditions
CPD UK Accreditation in Process
We are in the process of securing CPD UK accreditation to ensure this program meets the highest standards of professional development
We are proud to offer the Certified Photovoltaic Systems Professional CPVSP program, which is currently undergoing accreditation by the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Certification Service. CPD has been a leader in professional development for over 25 years, with more than 160,000 members globally. We expect to finalize this accreditation soon, ensuring that our program adheres to the highest standards of quality and relevance in professional training. Upon completion of the program and the successful finalization of CPD accreditation, participants will not only deepen their expertise in biomedical engineering but also gain an internationally respected certification. This pending accreditation reflects our commitment to lifelong learning and career development, recognized and valued by employers and institutions worldwide.
The term 'Professional' in the course title refers to the high level of expertise and practical skills developed during the course. Upon completion, participants will receive a CPD certificate, demonstrating their advanced competence in PV systems design. While this is not a formal qualification, it is recognized as a valuable credential for continuous professional development in the solar energy field.
This course is trusted by engineers who have worked or currently work with reputable companies in the MENA region.
To maximize the learning experience, we organize a group visit to our virtual space in the metaverse, allowing participants to interactively explore the components of a photovoltaic system in an engaging and immersive way.

One key takeaway was learning to work professionally from the start for a polished outcome. I also gained practical skills using software like SketchUp and PVSYST, which have positioned me to compete seriously in the energy field. Special thanks to Eng. Alaa Manon for his professionalism and guidance.
Eng. Eyad Alfaleh
Solar PV Engineer - Saudi Arabia
In this course, I learned a lot about solar energy systems, specifically how to connect them to the grid. One of the key aspects of the course is that it wasn't limited to theoretical learning; we used solar energy system simulation software and virtual reality tools. Each student was able to design and implement a grid-connected solar energy system. I would also like to thank Eng. Alaa for his efforts and extensive expertise, as well as my fellow engineers for their interaction, which made this course so valuable.
Eng. Yousef Nofal
Solar PV Engineer - Jordan
Through this course, I was able to establish myself in the job market as an energy engineer. I learned a lot about grid-connected energy systems, and now I can design, prepare quotes, and conduct site surveys like a professional site engineer. I also mastered system design using PVSYST and SketchUp. Whenever I faced challenges or forgot something, I would review the recorded lectures to solve the issue. I’d like to thank the dedicated Eng. Alaa Manon for his thorough and effective teaching, which helped me advance in the energy field.
