In Africa, the climate goals of the NDCs, the Gabon Climate Plan (80% decarbonized energy), Cameroon\u2019s Green Energy Strategy, and the Mission 300 initiative reinforce the urgency for massive solar deployment. Mini-grids, PV+BESS hybridization, and the widespread use of mobile money are transforming energy access. In this context, utility-scale solar plants become a lever for energy sovereignty for CEMAC and the region. Competitiveness relies on mastering standards, reducing LCOE, ensuring O&amp;M reliability, and network compliance. This certificate targets the enhancement of technical skills and the <strong>operational professionalization<\/strong> required by public operators, IPPs, EPCs, and funders.<\/p>\n<p>The UNIVGA method combines 100% online, asynchronous courses, at the pace of <strong>5\u20138 hours\/week<\/strong>, with simulations using PVsyst\/HOMER\/RETScreen, case studies from real African projects, and exercises in sizing, connection, and financial modeling. The content is <strong>strictly aligned<\/strong> based on the references <strong>IEC 61724 \u2014 IEC 62446-2 \u2014 NREL \u2014 IRENA Utility \u2014 Scatec \u2014 TotalEnergies<\/strong> and intersect the best practices IEC, IRENA, NREL, ADEME. Learners produce professional deliverables (single-line diagrams, calculation notes, KPI PR\/CUF, O&amp;M plans, LCOE\/PPA models), immediately usable in engineering offices, on EPC sites, in O&amp;M operations, or within rural electrification agencies. The pedagogical support ensures progress, ownership of standards, and transferability in the field.<\/p>\n<p>At the end, you will be able to evolve towards roles of<strong>renewable energy study engineer<\/strong>, <strong>solar project manager<\/strong>, EPC manager, power plant operator, O&amp;M manager, certified installer, energy project manager, renewable energy consultant, or energy auditor. The <strong>Professional Certificate UNIVGA<\/strong> enhances your profile with operators (ENEO, SEEG, SNE, ENERCA), solar IPPs and international EPCs (Scatec, TotalEnergies Renewables, ENGIE Africa, AMEA Power, GreenYellow), national agencies (AER, ANER, ASER, ADER), funders (AfDB, AFD, Proparco, IFC, KfW, World Bank, GET.invest) and engineering firms in CEMAC and French-speaking Africa. You possess the normative and practical skills to secure performance, network compliance, and the bankability of utility-scale solar plants.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Archives of the Blue Economy, Fishing &amp; Aquaculture Department - UNIVGA GROUP<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"template":"","course-category":[1946],"course-tag":[],"class_list":["post-104314","courses","type-courses","status-publish","hentry","course-category-departement-energie-renouvelable"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.9 (Yoast SEO v28.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Certificat Professionnel en Ing\u00e9nierie des Centrales PV Utility-Scale \u2013 UNIVGA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Ma\u00eetrisez ing\u00e9nierie centrales PV : conception, raccordement et exploitation de fermes &gt;1 MWc, align\u00e9 IEC\/NREL.
