The practice-oriented learning System for teaching of basics in photovoltaic power engineering

In the future, various and highly attractive job opportunities for young people are given by a worldwide spread and success of photovoltaic power engineering. Needs in exploring of new and ecological sources of energy and activities in climate protection are increasing the demands for specialist staff in solar technologies.

Educational awareness shows that learning success is the most efficient when students can deal with the learning subject theoretically and practically in a comprehensive way! This had been the basic conviction by developing the “Solar Power Case”. The knowledge provided in the manuals can immediately be put to the test in practice-related experiments. The development and choice of the experiments are based on the knowledge requirements and practical experience of solar specialists.

The Solar Power Case experiments are designed for giving sense of achievement to the students. A highly organized construction- and storing system is providing fixed space to each unit inside the case. It is a matter of relief for students and instructors and guarantees long time of use.

The Solar Power Case performs a sophisticated teaching aid either to present the technology in theory and practice or to work on photovoltaic basic knowledge independently and in student groups. The experiments enable students to learn by application and experience!

By the Solar Power Case, own school projects can be planned, modelled and being presented for decision process, for example a solar lighting of a showcase or an independent illumination of rooms etc. Besides this direct application, students are able to inform their parents, visitors and fellow students on photovoltaics during school celebrations and project days.
