Recommendations for classes (lemm.ee)

Hi! I’m looking for recommendations for classes/education on off grid solar.

Basically something a little more than watching YouTube videos. I want to learn the basics of how to calculate how much capacity I need for different spaces, and what kinds of systems there are. I know very little about electrical systems so I’m sure I need more there too. I have plenty of time, so I could take some basic electrical classes as well.

Not necessarily planning to DIY my projects, but I want to know enough to know what I need so I can buy my own equipment, and pay someone a fair labor rate to install the skilled portion of the work, while I could do the more basic stuff. From my experience, the best way to get a good price and quality install is to learn as much as you can first. My projects are not really large scale. And I have plenty of room so I don’t need roof install.

Anyone have recommendations on classes on solar?
