Course Leader, Dr Chris Jardine

Our CPD courses are delivered by our Technical Director, Dr Chris Jardine.  Chris has worked on solar PV since 2000, and so has nearly 2 decades experience of the sector.  As well as his role at Joju, Chris is also a Senior Lecturer at Oxford University’s Environmental Change Institute, where he runs an annual MSc course on Energy. He has a reputation as a highly engaging speaker and educator.

It’s quite a unique mix – being able to bring academic level information, coupled with on the ground experience of delivering PV projects – and this is something we aim to bring across in our CPD lectures.
