Dreamit Power Academy
Learn to Design Solar Power Systems Through a Practical Engineering Process.
Build the engineering judgement required to assess client needs, analyse loads, select the right system architecture, size equipment and document a complete residential solar design.
Engineering Before Equipment
A Reliable Solar Design Begins Before Equipment Is Selected.
Solar design does not begin with a panel quantity, battery capacity or inverter brand. It begins by understanding the client requirement, site conditions, load behaviour, available energy sources and the operating outcome the system must achieve.
A controlled engineering process connects those requirements to system configuration, equipment sizing, electrical protection, documentation and final design review.

Solar Design Engineer’s Toolkit
Use the Complete Engineering System
A complete residential solar engineering workflow supported by the main Toolkit, Companion Engineering Workbook and three worked design cases.
Explore the ToolkitFollow the Design From Client Requirement to Final Review.
- 01
Client and Site Assessment
Define the requirement, site context, available energy sources and intended operating outcome.
- 02
Load Schedule and Energy Profile
Organise connected loads by rating, quantity, operating time and hourly energy demand.
- 03
System Architecture Selection
Select a grid connected, hybrid or standalone arrangement suited to the requirement.
- 04
Battery, PV and Inverter Sizing
Coordinate storage, generation and conversion equipment around the design basis.
- 05
Cable and Protection Decisions
Consider conductor requirements, protection devices and the electrical relationships between components.
- 06
Documentation and Design Review
Record assumptions, calculations and equipment decisions so the design can be checked.
Three Connected Areas of Solar Engineering Judgement.

Lead Instructor
Prosper Kalu
Prosper Kalu is an electrical engineer, clean energy practitioner and lead instructor at Dreamit Power Academy. His teaching focuses on the practical decisions that connect a client requirement to a solar power system that can be calculated, documented and reviewed.
The Academy was created to help emerging professionals develop a clearer and more disciplined process for doing that work.

What to Know Before You Begin.
Is the Solar Design Bootcamp free?
Yes. Registration for the live online Solar Design Bootcamp is free.
Do I need previous solar design experience?
No previous solar design experience is required for the Bootcamp. Participants should be ready to work through basic technical concepts and calculations.
Is the Bootcamp live and online?
Yes. The Bootcamp is delivered through live online sessions, and access details are shared with registered participants.
What is required for a certificate?
Participants must attend both live sessions completely and submit the assigned task within the announced submission period.
What does the Toolkit contain?
The package contains the main Solar Design Engineer's Toolkit, a Companion Engineering Workbook and worked cases for grid connected, hybrid and standalone residential systems.
Can people outside Nigeria participate?
The registration form supports international participants who can join the announced online sessions. Toolkit users must still apply the laws, standards and utility requirements relevant to their location.
