The sustainable use of energy resources is getting more attention in social and business environments. In particular, the production of electricity from solar energy (photovoltaics) offers a greener, cheaper, and more reliable alternative to fossil energy and other types of conventional energy sources.
The solar energy industry has grown exponentially and has a high turnover worldwide. Due to the decentralised nature of photovoltaic energy supply, upcoming, independent solar contractors can quickly and independently develop regional business structures and become attractive partners for national and international solar companies.
Attending this winter school is the first step in becoming an entrepreneur or employee in the photovoltaic energy business. You will learn all the basics about photovoltaic technology and acquire essential knowledge for its implementation. The programme combines theory and practical approaches to meet the challenges within one of the fastest growing business areas - solar energy.
If you choose the "Entrepreneur" track, it will equip you with knowledge about founding a business and developing it in a successful and sustainable manner.
If you choose the "Employee" track, you will gain a thorough understanding of solar companies, the market, and the industry.
