EL267 — Lab for EL 264
EL 267 - Lab for EL 264 EL 267 - Lab for EL 264 This course is an introductory study of photovoltaic systems, theory, PV components, and PV circuits. Experiments emphasize: the 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; implementation of stand-alone battery-backup PV system. Additional and/or substitute experiments from grid-intertie, hybrid systems, and other topics as approved by the instructor. Course
Prerequisites: EL155, EL159
