This course teaches you about solar technology and its ability to combat the effects of global climate change. As fossil fuels become less profitable and sustainable, renewable energy has emerged as the obvious answer to ecological sustainability. Despite its importance, solar power generation technologies are rare and poorly understood. Sign up for this course to take your place on the front lines of the fight against climate change.

This specialization presented by Universidad Panamericana through the High Level Business School provides knowledge from all its aspects of business competitiveness, and prepares students to work in companies and institutions that provide sustainable solutions and integrate sustainability into their business strategy to respond to the challenges posed by the current energy and environmental context.

Learning how to use solar water heating systems, also known as solar thermal systems, can be a great way to harness renewable energy for water heating purposes. Here's an outline of what a course on solar water heating systems might cover: Introduction to Solar Water Heating: The course will start by introducing the concept of solar water heating and its benefits, such as reducing energy costs, decreasing carbon footprint, and utilizing renewable energy sources. Types of Solar Water Heating Systems: Active Solar Water Heating Systems: These systems use pumps to circulate water or heat-transfer fluid through solar collectors and into storage tanks. They are further divided into direct circulation systems (used in climates where freezing is rare) and indirect circulation systems (use heat-transfer fluids).

Heat pumps are often advertised as ‘free heat’ as for a small amount of energy in (electricity) they can emit more energy (as heat) out. Come and explore the science, develop a cost benefit analysis and quantify the emissions reductions of heat pumps, enabling you to decide if a heat pump is right for you. Heat pumps are indeed advertised as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to heat and cool homes. Let's delve into the science behind heat pumps, conduct a cost-benefit analysis, and quantify the emissions reductions they offer to help you make an informed decision.
