- Description
- This course includes a series of solar thermal and photovoltaic (PV) laboratory projects. Solar collector and system performance data are recorded and analyzed and efficiencies calculated. Topics include collector/module azimuth and tilt, thermal open and closed loop systems, freeze protection, stagnation; stand-alone, grid-connected and hybrid photovoltaic systems are studied. This course is intended for students interested in solar technology.
