NTC-20.81 “Energy saving technologies. The study of the photoelectric energy converter – solar panel”

The construction of the bench consists of a control unit, two solar modules (with single-crystal and multi-crystal solar panels) and a lighthead.

The control unit consists of a housing with the following equipment installed:

• power supply units;
• electronic circuit boards;
• load resistors;
• front panel;
• an integrated desktop tabletop.

The schemes of the solar panel, load connection and measurement means are depicted on the control unit front panel. 

The following equipment is also located on the front panel:

• mains switch;
• functional switches;
• lighters with halogen lamps (4 pcs.);
• digital indicators.

The solar modules are movable frames made of steel section. Each unit has two solar panels mounted on it. The angulation of the panels could be adjusted from 0 to 90 degrees at fixed 5 degree intervals. The temperature of each panel is controlled by a digital thermometer.

The lighthead is a movable frame made of steel section with 8 (2 groups of 4 pieces) halogen lamps, each 0.5 W power. Each group has it’s own power switch.

The training system is supplied with:

• a set of methodical and technical documentation for teaching staff;
• a software.
