Description
Technical Details

The Solar PV Fundamental Training Kit provides a big range of experiments from the physical fundamentals of photovoltaics, to the study of PV system components, and the design of complex PV systems on a laboratory scale. The Training Kit offers experiments for both electrical engineering and photovoltaics. The inverter displays the generation of alternating current from the solar panel current. And a number of different electrical consumers, such as a super bright LED or a light bulb, complete the kit, which can be used to compare their performance.

The photovoltaics training kit introduces trainees to PV systems and how sunlight is converted into electrical energy.
Different PV systems can be created and operated such as grid-tied systems and off-grid systems.
