Solar panel experimental device
This is an experimental device designed to learn about the performance and usage of solar panels and energy storage systems, which are forms of renewable energy. It consists of a solar panel mounted on a lightweight frame with casters, which can be adjusted for angle, a solar panel unit made up of a solar panel and a pyranometer, a control unit that includes a charge controller, and an electrical load unit. The control unit digitally displays the solar panel voltage and current output, battery voltage and current output (during battery charging), voltage and current output to the electrical load unit, and solar radiation (W/m²). The electrical load device includes four filament lamps and a variable electrical load device (3-50Ω), as well as a 100W inverter for external output. Experiments using batteries with low capacity help investigate charge and discharge cycles. By using the optional (sold separately) data automatic collection system VDAS-B, various data can be collected in real-time to a PC (sold separately) and the experimental results can be analyzed.
