Eng. Mahmoud Osman
Solar PV Engineer - Sudan

One of the best solar energy courses, where I learned practical applications of solar energy systems and how to use specialized software like SketchUp and PVSYST. Special thanks to Eng. Alaa Manon, who was not only an excellent teacher and mentor but also a great friend throughout the course

Amal Abdulwahed
Renewable Energy Engineering Student - Palestine 

During this course, I gained extensive knowledge about photovoltaic systems in general and grid-connected solar energy systems in particular. I learned the steps for connecting these systems, including safety standards, quality, understanding customer needs, and executing projects in the correct order with the proper tools. 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.
