Pre-Investment Decision Support – Power Plant

Free E-Course: Solar Power Plants

Welcome to the Course

Large solar power plants play a key role in electricity generation today. In many regions, they are one of the fastest ways to add new power capacity. Governments, utilities, and private investors are increasingly involved in such projects.

This course is made for decision-makers who evaluate utility-scale solar projects. You may be an investor, a company owner, or part of a public organization. You may not have a technical background in solar engineering. This course is designed for that situation.

Short Transparency Note

This welcome video is recorded personally by us. Some of the following course videos are produced with AI assistance for efficiency. However, all concepts, explanations, and technical content are created, structured, and reviewed by us. AI is used only as a production tool — not as a source of knowledge or expertise.

Scope: Large Installations

When we speak about solar power plants, we focus on large installations. This typically means projects from several megawatts up to several hundred megawatts. We do not focus on residential rooftop systems.

Patrick Thoma

I have been making business plans since 2003. In 2006, together with my father and one investor, I started a solar module production line in Europe.

I have been a shareholder of this company for more than 10 years. From 2005-2009, I was the CEO of this company and involved in all production processes. My goal is to help other entrepreneurs start their own local production in their country.
