“I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that” - Thomas Edison, 1931

Each hour 430 quintillion Joules of energy from the sun hits the Earth. That's 430 with 18 zeroes after it. In comparison, the total amount of energy that allhumans use in a year is 410 quintillion Joules.

This course will introduce you to some of the research, upcoming technologies and state-of-the-art materials across both PV and CSP and future trends used to harness this valuable source of energy.
