Request CustomisationCourse Overview
The Autodesk Solar PV Fundamentals and System Components course is designed for aspiring solar energy professionals, including PV System Designers, Solar Engineers, and Energy Consultants, who aim to master the technical and design aspects of photovoltaic systems. This comprehensive training covers core principles such as solar resource evaluation, system sizing, component integration, and performance analysis, aligning with industry standards and best practices. While the course does not directly map to a NABCEP certification exam, it provides foundational knowledge that supports eligibility for credentials like the NABCEP PV Design Specialist, which is required or preferred in over 30% of solar design job postings in North America. With global demand for renewable energy solutions rising, professionals skilled in Autodesk’s design ecosystem are increasingly sought after by engineering firms, solar developers, and sustainable architecture practices.
Students engage with key Autodesk tools including Revit, FormIt, Dynamo, and Autodesk Forma Carbon Insights to model, simulate, and optimize solar energy systems within a Building Information Modeling (BIM) environment. The hands-on lab component is conducted in the Autodesk online learning platform, where learners configure real-world photovoltaic layouts using parametric modeling and energy analysis workflows. A central project involves creating a complete solar design for a commercial rooftop installation, integrating site-specific climate data, shading analysis, and panel efficiency calculations. Using Dynamo scripts, students automate design iterations to maximize energy output, while Revit and Forma are used to generate detailed panel layouts and performance reports, ensuring designs meet both technical and sustainability benchmarks.
This course prepares learners for the Autodesk Certified Professional credential, a globally recognized certification that validates advanced proficiency in sustainable design workflows. Certified professionals report a 10–20% salary premium, with Solar PV System Designers earning between $70,000 and $100,000 annually in the U.S., according to industry surveys. Koenig Solutions enhances this path with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official Autodesk courseware, and 1-on-1 mentoring to ensure mastery of complex design concepts. Graduates gain the expertise to lead solar integration projects in architectural firms, energy consultancies, or renewable startups, positioning them at the forefront of the clean energy transition and long-term career growth in the rapidly expanding solar industry.
What You'll Learn
Skills You'll Gain
Prerequisites
- To succeed in this curriculum, which utilizes industry-standard workflows often supported by Autodesk Revit and Insight, students must possess: 1) Proficiency in Revit 2023 or later for BIM-integrated solar analysis. 2) Foundational knowledge of NEC (National Electrical Code) Article 690 regarding PV system safety and installation. 3) Demonstrated competency in PV performance modeling using software such as PVWatts or PVSyst. 4) A baseline understanding of solar irradiance (GHI/DNI) and shading geometry. While this course provides specialized technical training, it is recommended that participants hold or be pursuing NABCEP (North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners) PV Associate certification to ensure adequate mathematical and electrical literacy.
