This is a great course, and gives broad foundational perspective on PV and ESS. I would highly recommend it.

Having been in the industry for over a decade this class proved to me that there is still a lot we can learn from each other. I enjoyed the interviews and the readings and I also realize that this industry is moving very quickly, so we need to stay up to date with the industry magazines, podcasts, and blogposts.
