About the WikiSolar team
WikiSolar is a place where you can find everything you need to know to build Solar Projects accross the world.
This website is done by people working in the Solar and Renewable industry, working from small home systems, microgrid, and up to the biggest Solar Farms. The only goal is to make Solar projects development, design, installation and commissioning, easy and accessible to anyone around the world.
We are convinced that today and at our small level, the most effective action to counter global warming is to share our knowledge so that the entire solar industry can improve and grow together. We believe that there will be enough opportunities in the world in the years to come that it is not necessary to hide knowledge in order to be more competitive than another company. Improvement of entire solar industry will increase the credibility of the sector which will benefit us all.
Anyone can edit or create new pages on wikisolar, so if you think you can improve a page or speak about a useful topic, dont hesitate to click on "edit" on the top right. If you want to be part of the discussions of the Wikisolar team, just send a mail using the contact page. Nothing to earn except the personal fulfillment of knowing that you are helping someone in the world.

- The Solar Univeristy becomes WikiSolar and use the wikipedia template
- 2020-04-18
- https://solar-university.com is officially launched !
- 2020-02-02
- A team of solar engineers are joining forces to create "The Solar Univeristy"
Would like to contribute ?
At WikiSolar, we are not looking for money, all the articles are written voluntarily by people all around the world : Australia, Nigeria, France… and the running cost are beared by the site creator.
All the people from this community believe that sharing the knowledge about Solar Projects is the best way to have leverage the energy transition. The content of this website is tailored in a way that engineers, installers, project developpers can learn, ask questions and also contribute to existing and new topics.
If there is any topic you want to see or if you are ready to write a page, you’re more than welcome to join the team ! Just write few words in the discussion tab or use the contact form.
We can share the list of the identified topics and you could pick one where you’re the most skilled.
