Course Overview

The Advanced Solar PV Engineering: Off-Grid, Hybrid and Grid-Tied Systems course by Autodesk is a comprehensive training program designed for electrical engineers, renewable energy specialists, and solar project designers seeking mastery in modern photovoltaic system design. This course prepares candidates for the NABCEP PV Installation Professional certification exam, a widely recognized credential in the solar industry. Target roles include PV Systems Engineer, Solar Project Designer, and Energy Storage Consultant. With global solar capacity projected to surpass 1,500 GW by 2025 and over 60% of new installations incorporating energy storage, demand for skilled professionals is surging, making this certification highly valuable for career advancement in the clean energy sector.

Participants gain hands-on experience with industry-standard tools including Autodesk AutoCAD, PVsyst, Helioscope, System Advisor Model (SAM), and HOMER Grid to design, simulate, and optimize solar systems. The lab environment leverages the Koenig LET Platform, a cloud-hosted virtual lab system that enables real-time modeling and troubleshooting of off-grid, hybrid, and grid-tied configurations. Students complete a capstone project involving the design of a commercial-scale grid-connected PV system with battery storage, including single-line diagrams, string sizing, NEC-compliant conduit calculations, and financial feasibility analysis. This practical, project-based approach ensures mastery of real-world engineering workflows and documentation standards.

This course equips engineers with the technical and economic expertise needed to lead solar-plus-storage projects and supports career progression into high-demand roles, with average salaries ranging from $90,000 to $150,000 globally. It aligns with NABCEP certification standards and includes access to official courseware, 1-on-1 training options, and Koenig’s Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling. Graduates are prepared to design resilient, code-compliant systems that meet IEEE 1547 and NEC Article 690 requirements, positioning them to drive innovation in the rapidly expanding renewable energy landscape.

What is the rescheduling and cancellation policy for Advanced Solar PV Engineering: Off-Grid, Hybrid and Grid-Tied Systems?
Koenig allows one free reschedule if requested over 10 days before the start date; changes within 10 days incur a 50% fee. Cancellations made 15 days in advance qualify for a full refund. Each enrollment permits one rescheduling request to maintain fairness.
What is the duration of the Advanced Solar PV Engineering: Off-Grid, Hybrid and Grid-Tied Systems course?
The Advanced Solar PV Engineering: Off-Grid, Hybrid and Grid-Tied Systems course consists of 40 hours of intensive, instructor-led training designed to cover complex system design, grid-tied integration, and off-grid storage configurations.
Is there a certification renewal process for Advanced Solar PV Engineering: Off-Grid, Hybrid and Grid-Tied Systems?
As this course provides professional training in solar engineering and Autodesk software proficiency rather than an Autodesk-issued solar certification, there is no Autodesk renewal process. Students are encouraged to maintain professional standing through industry-standard bodies like NABCEP.
What post-training support does Koenig provide for Advanced Solar PV Engineering: Off-Grid, Hybrid and Grid-Tied Systems?
Koenig provides 6 months of post-training support, including access to recorded sessions, cloud labs, and expert mentorship. Learners receive preparation materials for industry-standard exams and are covered by the 100% Happiness Guarantee, which includes a free retake if specific learning objectives remain unmet.
What are the prerequisites for Advanced Solar PV Engineering: Off-Grid, Hybrid and Grid-Tied Systems?
Participants should have completed a fundamentals-level solar PV course or possess equivalent field experience in solar design. A technical background in electrical engineering, renewable energy, or construction is recommended, along with familiarity with NEC standards and core system sizing principles.
What career opportunities follow Advanced Solar PV Engineering: Off-Grid, Hybrid and Grid-Tied Systems training?
Graduates qualify for roles like PV Systems Designer or Renewable Energy Engineer. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, professionals in related engineering fields earn a median annual salary range between $85,000 and $120,000. This training aligns with NABCEP certification requirements, enhancing job placement prospects.
