Al-Mustaqbal Energy Research Center Continues the “Solar Energy Hackathon” Training with Specialized Lectures and Practical Applications

The Al-Mustaqbal Energy Research Center continues the activities of its “Solar Energy Hackathon” training program, launched as part of its initiatives to empower students and professionals in the field of renewable energy, with wide participation from engineering students and specialists. The session featured a comprehensive introduction to solar energy, covering fundamental concepts, its importance in the global transition to clean energy, and practical applications in electricity generation and carbon emission reduction. Dr. Ammar delivered a specialized lecture on PV Syst, one of the leading global software tools used for designing and evaluating photovoltaic systems. His detailed explanation included how to use the software to estimate power output, analyze performance, and conduct technical and economic feasibility studies for solar projects. The lecture also included interactive, hands-on training, enabling participants to practice directly with the software, thereby enhancing their skills in system design and real-world problem-solving within the solar energy sector. This training is part of the broader Solar Energy Hackathon competition, which combines specialized workshops and practical sessions, ultimately leading to the design of complete solar power projects to be evaluated by a panel of experts at the final stage. The center’s administration emphasized that the goal of the program is to equip a new generation of professionals with innovative, sustainable energy solutions, while bridging theoretical knowledge with practical applications to support national and global sustainable development goals.
