In Africa, universal access to energy, the <strong>climate NDCs<\/strong> and the resilience of networks make off-grid solar crucial. In CEMAC, energy independence relies on <strong>hybrid solar mini-grids<\/strong> and reliable SHS, supported by the Gabon Climate Plan (80% decarbonized) and the Green Energy Strategy of Cameroon. The rise of mobile money, PAYGo models, and innovative financing necessitates <strong>standardized technical skills<\/strong> and rapid professionalization of teams.<\/p>\n<p>The UNIVGA method is <strong>100% online, asynchronous<\/strong> and guided, for 5 months (5\u20138 h\/week, 160 h). You will practice <strong>HOMER Pro, PVsyst, RETScreen Expert, and MG-Africa simulations<\/strong>, sizing calculations, energy balances, financial modeling, and risk assessment. Real African case studies <strong>(Sunna Design, Baobab+, mini-grid operators) anchor the field knowledge: DC\/AC architectures, Li-ion vs lead BESS, protections, remote management, PAYGo, and mobile money.
