Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels undoubtedly come to peoples' minds when they talk about solar energy. The use of solar PV panels in our country is increasing day by day.  At the same time, the demand for solar PV design is rising. Many engineers in our country work with solar PV design, and "ESAB AIUB unit face" organized a "Professional Solar PV Design" workshop for future engineers on the 7th and 8th of October,2021, and completed the workshop in its entirety.

Main program began with the national anthem, which was accompanied by displaying country's national flag. Subsequently, additional specifics about the work of ESAB AIUB UF and a short film of what ESAB has accomplished thus far were presented. Mr. Sheikh Rafat Bin Ali (Founder, Ulterior Engineering & Research Institute) served as the instructor for "Professional Solar PV Design" program. He was enthusiastic and supportive throughout the program. During the session's opening remarks, Dean of Faculty of Engineering, AIUB Prof. Dr. ABM Siddique Hossain, welcomed the speaker as well as the audience. Approximately 35 students participated in this workshop. On the first day of the program, there was a basic introduction to solar PV design, and following the basic introduction, several intermediate and high-level concepts were discussed. In the fundamental lecture, the ideas of solar sale, solar panel, solar string, and solar array were discussed. The workshop also provides students with an understanding of investment feasibility analysis, growth recommendations, investment return analysis, trends analysis, opportunity analysis, and SWOT analyses of competing organizations, among other features that will significantly benefit them in their future careers. On the second day, there were talks about the designing component and practical exercises. During this section, a thorough tour of the PVsyst software was provided. Solar photovoltaic systems were also investigated from the standpoints of physics, mathematics, and aesthetics. Moreover, an outline of a significant study conducted to build a PVsyst design for a client was provided.

At the end of workshop, there was a question-and-answer session where the workshop instructor addressed the questions raised by the participants. At the conclusion of the workshop, instructor of this workshop was presented with an official certificate by the ESAB AIUB unit face.
