RENG201L — Solar Thermal Energy Lab
This course explores Solar Thermal systems in typical application environments. Topics include a site plan, sizing, safety, regulations, and connection, Flat panel, Evacuated Tube as well as geothermal systems will be utilized to provide hands-on training. Systems simulation will also be incorporated. We are planning to acquire an enclosed equipment trailer to build a rolling classroom for hands-on installation of PV, wind turbine, solar thermal and geothermal systems. This will be a 2 credit hour class, encompassing 4 hours of lab.
