Creating Experts for Solar Energy Dissemination
We train specialists in photovoltaics
We believe that the key to promoting the dissemination of solar energy and the use of all renewable energies lies in education and the organization of businesses. We focus on the use of photovoltaics (solar PV) for rural development in particular, but we also strive to build capacity in the urban and commercial sectors and address all aspects of sustainability, including (small/large) wind energy and sustainable water management technologies.
We achieve our impact primarily through the implementation of education and technology/service standards to train qualified marketers and installers of solar energy systems, as well as by promoting the dissemination of green technologies.

Industry Partner 6th SRH Solar Winter School 2024
I would take this opportunity to thank you and Saiful for the great introduction to the software. Overall, I would also like to say that I really enjoyed the lectures. For me, having the possibility to meet people from industry and getting to know new technical things about solar that I did not know (due to my background) was a real take-home message from the winter school (other than networking with a lot of different interesting people of course).

It was an absolute pleasure being part of the 8th SRH Solar Summer Team-up! My only regret is that I didn't sign up for all the modules :-(
Thank you so much for sending me my certificate, I truly appreciate it and hope to get the chance to collect the physical copy soon.
I'm definitely interested in attending future events and staying in the loop about the GSAN. I'll check out the information you provided and hope to be in touch soon.
Thanks again!

Online graduate at 8th SRH Solar Summer Team-up! in Berlin and Bavaria (2023)
Berlin and SRH University was a perfect pick for me. The course was practically-orientated and well-structured. I met a lot of interesting professors and business people with whom I'm still in contact. I'm not saying that you will learn everything in a couple of weeks, but you will get the most necessary basics, basics, which helped me develop my own company.
Thank you so much for all of you. I really enjoyed the program and I learned new concepts about the wind industry.
I am so keen to participate in the upcoming Solar Winter School Program.

Online graduate GSAN international Wind Industry Training at SRH (4th edition)
It was an exciting time and experience to be part of the 6th Solar Winter School RESTART 2024 at SRH University in Berlin this Year.
The program was more than I envisaged, and it provided many eye-opening tips on thriving in the PV industry.
It presented an opportunity to meet and network with Industry leaders with many experience in the field.
It was a springboard for deep-diving into the PV Systems Industry for newbies.
My sincere appreciation to Matthias Raab and others who took their time to make this course worthwhile for us. We are grateful.
I strongly recommend this program for anyone new to Solar.
