Engineering Services | Workforce Development

Over 2,00,000 jobs have already been created in the sector, with a growth rate of over 300%.

ThE fuTuRE iS bRiGhT

With a target output of 20 gigawatts by 2022, India is embarking on an ambitious plan to tap the sun to power 1/8th of its energy needs. Powered by lower global costs of photovoltaics and focused policy initiatives, solar energy is now not only practical but also economically feasible. With over 300 days of sunlight and a high population density, Indias geography is ideally suited for solar power. Improved efficiencies in photovoltaic systems and local manufacturing capabilities too are fuelling access to cheaper solar energy.

TAPPiNG ThE SOlAR POTENTiAl

Concerns over climate change and energy security in recent years have helped rekindle an interest in clean and renewable sources of energy. Improvements in technology and policy driven financial incentives have helped reduce the capital cost of solar power projects, one of the main impediments in the past. Over 2,00,000 jobs have already been created in the sector, with a growth rate of over 300%. To excel as a professional in this specialized field, you are expected to have an understanding of various engineering disciplines: you will be involved in activities ranging from site assessment to fabrication of photovoltaic panels and implementation of storage technology. You will work in solar parks to bring together various technologies to help generate clean, perpetual power. In this unique course, you will acquire an understanding of engineering constructs combined with real-world examples and problem solving exercises.

ThE iNDuSTRY TRENDS

LARGE, GRID CONNECTED PROJECTS
With improvements in grid connectivity and lower cost of solar films, solar energy has moved beyond powering individual homes and is now increasingly being used to power communities and cities through rooftop solar projects and cities through large, multi-hectare solar farms.

BUILDUP OF MANUFACTURING CAPACITY

Multinationals such as Tata BP, Moser Baer and Siginet have set up plants for PV manufacturing, so have the leaders in solar thermal power generation. Capacity building in Indian and other Asian markets have made solar energy, particularly photovoltaics, far more cost effective today than in the past.

SOFTWARE FOR PROJECT PLANNING

Advanced software for site assessment allows accurate planning of solar park sites, and allows investors to effectively manage the costs of solar plants.
