The training is part of the initiatives related to the master's program “Energy Markets and Services” at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration.

The course is based on SolarPower Europe's “Guide to Best Practices in the Design, Procurement and Construction of Photovoltaic Power Plants”, which APSTE translated, supplementing it with guidelines from the experience of Bulgarian companies – members of APSTE, both local and international markets.

All participants received certificates for their participation from the Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration at the end of the second day.

Due to the great interest in the previous editions, the organizers are planning further trainings in 2023.
