What do you picture when you hear the term “renewable energy?” Do you imagine fields of solar panels, giant windmills, or huge hydroelectric dams? Those are all examples of large-scale, grid-tied systems. In this course, we’ll go much smaller and focus on off-grid, stand-alone systems.

TOP REVIEWS FROM EXPLORING RENEWABLE ENERGY SCHEMES
great course and I like the prof way of teaching so much, such a cool person. I highly recommend any one to come and "Explore" this course on Photo voltaic, Wind and Hydro Energy.
Provided a clear explanation of the components and design requirements of an off grid system. Do hope research and development in urban/residential sites will be expanded upon.
With my background as a civil engineer, this course in renewable energy has really helped me understand how to implement a power generation system
Very good course for beginners in the Renewable Energy, The concepts of RE are explained in a simple and lucid manner. i
