The format is great and the information is very useful.
Very useful information. It's a good course for an introduction to renewable energy. I would appreciate if it has a second part with more technical knowledge.
I did get a better understanding about Renewables energy
Amazing course! I learned so much more about solar and wind and our universe! We can accomplish so very much if we all take that first step and make it all matter!
