The post also highlights the curriculum being followed in most of these colleges and hence would greatly assist the educators in developing the best possible syllabus to be followed which matches international standards.

The Solar Industry – A Brief Overview

Increasing energy requirements coupled with the depletion of fossil fuels around the world have pushed people to move towards alternate or renewable energy sources. The renewables market in India is mainly dominated by Wind, Solar PV and Solar Thermal energy systems.

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems use cells which directly convert sunlight into electricity. These cells are made up of special substances known as semiconductors which perform the conversion process.

Global Solar PV installations reached 6.43 GW in 2009 - an increase of about 6% over the year 2008. The revenue generated from these installations reached $38 billion globally. European countries account for the vast majority of the installations, which total about 4.1GW.

India’s Potential

India lies in a sunny tropical belt region which is a region of high insolation (incident solar energy). The total theoretical potential is estimated to be over 5000 trillion kWh annually. Very little of this abundant resource has been exploited. The installed solar capacity in India is about 110MW of which only about 10MW is grid connected.

The National Solar Mission is working towards increasing the installed capacity of solar in India to 1-2 GW by 2013 and then increasing to 4-10GW by 2017. This clearly shows the viability of solar in India as there are going to be a lot of emerging opportunities in the field.

The government further aims to increase the growth of solar energy in India by providing incentives under the National Solar Mission and other Generation Based Incentives available through the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. The government expects to spend about $19billion in this sector till 2022.

Industry demand for qualified Solar Technicians is growing as more consumers and businesses establish solar generation systems in their communities. The new solar installations coming up require the employees to have recognizable certificates as they too form a basis for the funding which is allocated to the companies. The demand for skilled technicians in both solar PV and thermal areas is rising. The push for alternative energy is only going to get stronger.

You could become a solar energy installer or maybe a professional energy auditor. But you will need the necessary qualifications. This is where good quality solar energy training courses come in. This leads to huge opportunities not just in the solar energy sector but also within the solar energy training sector.
Types of Training Available

Broadly speaking, solar energy training courses are split into 2 separate camps

Hands-on training programs – tends to be more practical and deals with skills such as training users to install solar panels. This provides the basic skills necessary to get into the solar energy sector
Academic oriented two-year degree programs – more in depth analysis of the subject which provides more technical details as well as assisting in the financial and economic details of solar energy projects

It is generally more advantageous to pursue a two-year degree course because of the obvious advantages associated with it. A degree means you are more qualified to do a wider range of jobs which tends to attract higher pay packets. Also, you will have the technical knowledge to do other things such as design solar power systems.

If solar energy systems sound like an enticing proposition, the following sections would give you a general indication of where to start your venture into the solar energy markets depending on your educational experience as well as your financial viability.

Indian solar energy Training and Education

Opportunity

This is a clear opportunity area for businessmen in India to start giving training / education in solar energy. Looking at the various courses offered by the other universities both in India and abroad would provide you with an idea of the content and how to design the solar energy education course.

MNRE predicts that India will need 100,000 trained personnel will be required in the coming decade to work in the solar energy field. This number seems substantially low as even the wind energy sector with highly trained professionals and large resources available requires over 80,000 people over the next 5 years.

Making the right choice

Substantial time and effort has to be invested in order to go over to the various solar training provider. They should also be selective enough to choose the one which can give you good quality training while ensuring it is worth the money invested in it.

Care must be taken to ensure that courses offered are of high quality and is constantly updated with current trends in the solar energy industry. Care must also be taken to ensure that the course is recognized by the various governing bodies in India who are the premier authority in regards to solar energy.

Government Institutions

MNRE - Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, India
NABCEP - North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners
IREC - Interstate Renewable Energy Council

Elements of a solar energy Course

At the very basic level, the solar training elements include the design features of the solar panels, the solar panels installation and safety related issues.

The chief goal of solar training is to present the idea of solar paneling and thus, to teach and train individuals in the different scientific and methodological features which are a part of solar panel training.

Integration with current curriculum

Since the nature of the energy system itself is likely to change in the future it is essential that renewable energy be integrated into the traditional engineering curriculum.

Draft Model prepared for MNES (Banerjee, 2003) provides two alternative modules to be integrated as lectures in existing courses.

Module 1 - Compulsory/core of 20 hours followed by an elective (full course) related to renewable. (Wind/Solar/Waste to Energy etc…)
Module 2 - Compulsory course on Renewable Energy (40 hours of lectures experiments)

Promoting Renewable Energy Education

There currently exists a kind of brain drain that leads to qualified students and professionals getting into other sectors such as Information technology or conventional energy sectors. This leads to the lack of availability of qualified renewable energy engineers within the sector.

A course in Environmental studies has been mandated for all Engineering students based on a Supreme Court judgment. MNES should initiate discussions with UGC / AICTE / IITs / MHRD to facilitate the integration of renewable energy in the engineering/science curriculum.

A team comprising of members from the renewable energy industry, academia and government should identify the requirements for certificate / diploma modules and use the existing institutions IITs, TERI, NITs as content providers.

School Education - In the case of school education a number of solar toys, renewable kits and solar trailers could be designed and disseminated in schools. As an example, solar powered computers are currently being tested by children in Indian villages. Workshops for training teachers should be carried out in each region. The different boards ICSE/KV/SSC should be approached to effectively implement this.

An example of how a class syllabus can be designed to accomodate solar energy can be found here

Web-based Module - There is significant potential in exploiting web-enabled education (e.g. Centre for Distance Education Programme at IIT Bombay) and Distance education through relay of a live classroom (e.g. IIT Bombay’s KRESITs Distance education programme through VSAT linked to remote centers in Pune, Nagpur, Hyderabad, Indore, Goa…). Video recordings of different modules can be prepared and made available via the web. This can be supplemented by classroom teaching and can provide flexibility of learning for working professionals.

Solar Energy Training in Existing Business Houses

Inhouse Training

As the renewable energy sector tends to grow and develop at a very fast pace an inhouse training program of sorts should be run in many institutions so as to keep the employees updated with the current trends.

Some of the institutions in the energy sector may need to impart training to existing employees to enable them to deal with renewable energy systems e.g. a State Electricity Board may need to train its engineers to deal with Wind generators, Grid connected Solar PV.Nonenergy companies (e.g. traditional manufacturing industry) may need exposure to renewable energy systems in order for them to exploit the potential for solar heating, energy from waste, renewable electricity.

Details of Renewable energy training and education carried out by companies can be found here

Research and Development

Research Centres and R&D Projects Form Part of the Education Scene. Adequate emphasis has to be given to R&D centers and they help to not only impart education to locals but also help in building up indigenous technology which would have monetary benefits. Some of the research centers in India include

The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI)

TERI was formally established in 1974 with the purpose of tackling and dealing with the immense and acute problems that mankind is likely to be faced with in the years ahead. on account of the gradual depletion of the earth’s finite energy resources which are largely non-renewable.

The Solar Energy Centre (SEC)

The Solar Energy Centre (SEC), established in 1982, is a dedicated unit of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India for development of solar energy technologies and to promote its applications through product development.

gokulesh - 18th Jul, 2011

in anna university chennai there will be M.E solar energy course opening this year...
energy091 - 18th Jul, 2011

Hi folks

There is an article on " Careers In Renewable Energy" by Dr. Usha Rao. She is a reader in Department of Physics at Lucknow University, UP.

The article came in Employment News Paper in 2010. It has good collection of the names of colleges and universities in India that offer courses related to renewables.Definetly, few more courses are coming up in 2011 at Anna University and few other South Institutes.

But, if anyone of you is interested in short-term courses in Solar field then have a look at Energy Studies Department at IIT Bombay. They conduct all round year certificate and short term courses.

If you google a little , you can find it easily. In case you don't get surely write your mail to me , i will forward it at its earliest.
krupali - 20th Jul, 2011

The advent of computers in everyday life ushered in a demand for courses in computer science and IT. We needed skilled personnel to operate and write programs these computers. Now with solar energy gaining popularity we will need large nos of solar technicians, maintenance crew, solar plant engineers etc. This will be the next wave.

Department of Physics, S.V.University,Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh also offers M.Sc in Solar Energy.

Though many institutions offer solar and Renewable Energy courses the demand is not there to join the courses. Though much advancement of solar energy is in the pipeline, not many job opportunities for Post Graduate students in Solar. On the other hand there is great demand for Polytechnic, ITI trained students in solar energy as they are very much needed in the expanding solar field as in O&M and Infrastructure development.

Dear Ms.Vijay Chakrawar,

I have notices your question that you want to say the the response for the course is very poor is it? Dear madam , with my experience , i think its more over depend upon the course you have designed for which type ( category) of target audience,
Capacity development ie training to Technicians, Supervisors, Engineers, Managers, or Management People. and its also depends on the course module you have developed for specific class of audience and the Location where you may be conducting your training course along with the wide publicity to reach your voice up to your targeted audience. one or more reasons may be barrier for you courses.
in case , you need any assistance for course designing to conduction of the course s on veries topics like Solar / Wind / Thermal etc or even on UNFCCC CDM , i would surely help you out. you may contact me on Kokanland@gmail.com
