The Centre for Photovoltiac Engineering was formed part of the school of Electrical Engineering. It is an independent budget unit within the faculty of Engineering, with the expectation that in due course it will grow into the School Of Photovoltiac Engineering. The Centre for Photovoltiac Engineering offers undergraduate and graduate training encompassing all aspects of the photovoltiac sector. An undergraduate engineering degree in photovoltiacs and solar energy commenced in the year 2000 and includes training in technology development, manufacturing, quality control, reliability and lifecycle analysis, cell interconnection and encapsulation, the full range of solar cell applications, system design, maintenance and fault diagnosis, marketing, policy development and the use of all renewable energy technologies.
