Course Overview
The Solar Photovoltaic (PV) System Design, Simulation and Engineering course by Autodesk is a specialized training program designed for engineers, solar design technicians, and renewable energy professionals aiming to master the end-to-end design and simulation of photovoltaic systems. This course prepares candidates for the NABCEP PV Design Specialist (PVDS) certification, a highly recognized credential in the solar industry. Target roles include PV System Designer, Solar Design Engineer, and Renewable Energy Consultant. With solar energy capacity in the U.S. surpassing 200 gigawatts and projected to double by 2035, demand for skilled designers is surging, especially in utility-scale and commercial sectors where precise engineering is critical for project approval and performance.
Participants gain hands-on experience using Autodesk’s integrated suite of design and simulation tools, including AutoCAD, Revit, Insight 360, and Autodesk Forma, along with third-party platforms like PVsyst and Helioscope for performance modeling. The lab environment leverages native AutoCAD workflows and cloud-based analytics, enabling students to configure mechanical and electrical designs, perform shade and solar path analysis, and generate construction-ready documentation. A key project involves designing a grid-tied solar system for a commercial building, incorporating site assessment, string sizing, NEC-compliant electrical layouts, and annual energy yield simulations to meet interconnection requirements.
This course not only prepares professionals for the NABCEP PVDS certification but also enhances career advancement in a rapidly expanding field. Certified PV Design Specialists earn over $11,000 more annually on average, with senior roles reaching up to $135,000. Koenig Solutions supports learners with official courseware, Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, and 1-on-1 mentoring to ensure mastery. Completing the Solar Photovoltaic (PV) System Design, Simulation and Engineering course empowers engineers to lead high-impact solar projects, from residential rooftops to utility-scale farms, driving the global transition to clean energy.
