EL 265 - Lab for EL 264


Credit Hours: 1.5

This course is an introductory study of photovoltaic systems, theory, PV components and PV circuits.   Experiments emphasize: photoelectric effect; performance characteristics of solar modules based on different technologies; irradiance, temperature, and angular position response of PV modules; shading analysis and mounting determination; series and parallel PV circuits and their characteristics; proper usage of inverters, charge controllers and batteries in the PV systems; comparison of pure sine inverters and modified square wave inverters. Additional and/or substitute experiments from grid-intertie, hybrid systems, and other topics as approved by instructor. 
Concurrent Registration: EL 264
