Trainings for Design and Commissioning of a SMA Fuel Save Solution in 2017

SMA Solar Academy

As diesel prices increase and costs for solar energy decrease, the advantage of a Fuel Save Solution to any diesel grid continuously grows. With 1.2 billion people without electricity and even more suffering from weak grids, the market for solar diesel hybrid systems is tremendous. But solar hybrid systems are often complex and unique with each having its own challenges. With SMA Solar Academy training courses, you gather essential knowledge to actively take part in this new business. Learn more about the courses that enable you to plan and commission solar diesel hybrid systems by yourself in this article.

When you have successfully planned your solar diesel hybrid system, ordered the necessary components and the material has safely reached the site, you can then commission the system. To be best prepared for commissioning, this training provides you with the necessary theoretical and practical background.

You will get hands-on training on:

  • SMA commissioning process
  • Configuring the Fuel Save Controller with its graphical user interface
  • PV plant configuration with Sunny Explorer
  • Practical workshops for putting a hybrid plant into operation in our SMA Hybrid Testbench, a 5MW test facility.
  • Information about how SMA Service can help if you experience problems

    Dear Christian,

    Need Suggestion…
    I have 400KVA Diesel Generator to power my entire commercial load during day. Also i have a 125KVA Diesel Generator for night operation (one fourth load).
    I want install a PV system which can be synchronized with any of my Diesel Genset.

    There is no grid supply available at all.

    I have estimated 250KWp PV System (for major load). Now need your suggestion, which type of Fuel Save Controller I need? and which Diesel Genset i need to synchronize in order to obtain maximum PV penetration with low fuel consumption?

    If you can, please send me the solution at my email: sikander.ali38@hotmail.com
    Waiting for response & thanking you in advance.
