A course consisting of 4 hours of theoretical teaching a week and 4 hours of practical laboratory work every two weeks was established at COPPE/UFRJ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to initiate education on solar electric systems (also photovoltaic (PV) systems). The course is presented during a quarter. Further details are also accessible by the Internet.
