Hello, waffaa. I sent you off a very quick link or two, but search around for the courses that interest you. Online courses are big business now, and you can get a degree for not a lot of money, but you will have to work hard. Your English is very good, and that will help you much.

We like young people like you.

Kepp in touch, let us know how it goes.

I'll help you if I can.

I too have started to research the possibilities to obtain a degree / certificate online for wind / solar energy. Long research short. there is not a one that I can find that will satisfy complete "online" requirements. You will have to do some time on campus. This fact is a great dissapointment to me due to the fact that this technology is relatively new and should have sprung up with the "new medium" of web courses. You can find several courses online that will "introduce" you to the technology, but will not fill in the many gaps in knowledge required even to build a home based system.. Yae, many claim to give you the total info, but will leave out wind testing , battery charge controllers, inverters, grid tie regulations, and all the combinations of above. The only way to learn the most reliable and complete information is to attend a college that is offering the complete course. too bad .. many people can understand and produce the systems easily. I guess it just isn't profitable to empower too many.

You stated "I hope to study much this type of powers and know every thing about it". That would be a miracle. As much as you learn online or in a classroom will pale in comparison to what you learn actually doing the work. It may be good to take all the online courses available and see if you can intern for a firm doing this type design. You would gain experience, knowledge and (hopefully) some money at the same time.

This is true. The "wind industry" is hiring people with matching knowledge..ie electronics, mechanical. to hire as installers. They are paying well to very well dependent on the part of the country you are looking to live in. From what I have researched, after 2- 3 years experience you write your own ticket and will be hired as a site manager to project superviser. I personally would choose this field if I were 15 years younger. One requirement is to be able to climb a 150' tower in all conditions. I would hate to get a sinus activated cough at 145'. best of luck

What you need is the fundamentals. It's great to say I want to go into solar energy, but there are many disciplines required in this field.

If you want to work in this field, where?

Electrical engineer ( my recommendation )

Chemical engineering, ( to develop better coatings with higher output )

Instrumentation, ( to develop better tracking hardware )

And many more.

Your never going to know where your education is going to take you. Education gives you wings.

Work hard to learn the fundamentals of your chosen field. If upon graduation you still want to pursue a career in solar energy, great, but other doors will be open for you too.
