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
Very informative and as I expected, will recommend to all who wants to know and have clear understanding of renewable energy sources.
The course was very useful. As a renewable energy engineer, it has strengthened my knowledge. I have recommended it to my fellows.
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.
This course provided a well organized information regarding Renewable Energy Schemes and how can we design a system to provide energy at smaller level.
