The Solar PV Trainer will help students recognise the benefits and explore the advantages behind stand alone PV systems such as: Being a 100% renewable supplier and independent from the grid, operating at 12V DC. Remote water pump systems in isolated areas. Increase awareness in solar/renewable energy and energy efficiency Reduction in carbon emissions Electricity is available from the PV module during daylight hours, whatever energy is not used it will get stored in the battery. Measurements taken and I-V curves plotted estimate the value and position of the Maximum Power Point (MPP) for the PV module. The solar PV trainer enables students to gain a better understanding of alternative energy sources and make ideal school science projects combining theory with hands on experience suitable for students with all levels of ability.
