E-learn Weblog of Willem van Valkenburg

For our DelftX MOOC Solar Energy we have created an introduction video to promote the course. In this animation the importance of Solar Energy as a sustainable and renewable energy source is explained. This free online education course (start September 2013) will teach you to design a complete photovoltaic system. You will learn how solar energy is converted into electricity, heat and solar fuels and will understand the working principle of a solar cell. You will learn about the advantages, limitations and challenges of different solar cell technologies, such as crystalline silicon solar cell technology, thin film solar cell technologies and the latest novel solar cell concepts as studied on lab-scale.
