Around the world, renewable energies are becoming essential for universal access to energy, sovereignty, and industrial competitiveness. Heat accounts for more than half of final energy uses: therefore, thermal solar becomes strategic for decarbonizing Domestic Hot Water (DHW) and processes. In Africa and in, the decrease in costs, the rise of IPPs and EPCs, as well as the objectives of NDCs and national climate plans strengthen the interest in reliable, local, and job-creating solutions. Hotels, hospitals, agri-food, collective housing: the potential is considerable. This certificate equips professionals to move from intention to successful implementation, reducing operating costs and improving the energy resilience of organizations. is 100% online, asynchronous, and flexible (5\u20138 hours\/week). It combines guided demonstrations, practical calculation workshops, T*Sol simulations, Polysun, and techno-economic studies under RETScreen, with cross insights from PVsyst\/HOMER to scenario hybridization and thermal load. You will work on real African cases (hotels, hospitals, residences, thermal mini-grids) and on financial modeling (LCOH, CAPEX\/OPEX, donor grants).
