Micro Solar Power Plant

A micro solar power plant is an electrical power station using solar energy to produce electricity on a small scale via photovoltaic panels. This electricity can be stored in batteries to supply isolated sites. Learning Objectives: Educational system for student training. Learn about Micro Solar Power Plant specifications for optimal educational outcomes.. Enables students to be introduced to the operation of a photovoltaic installation: study of industrial components (photovoltaic panel, charger, inverter, electrical components); wiring of elements; commissioning and configuration of components; study of component chain efficiency and energy balance by measuring voltages and currents at various circuit points and from data provided by available instruments (control screen, voltage and current clamp meter). Calculation of battery energy storage autonomy. Learn about Micro Solar Power Plant suppliers for optimal educational outcomes..

The system consists of industrial components and is manufactured in compliance with CE standards. One 12 V – 115 Wc – 0.
