Solar photovoltaic installation: learning by doing
Description:
Learning activity included in the 5 ECTS course "Renewable Energy Technologies"
Intended Learning Outcomes:
- Enumerate the main elements in a solar photovoltaic installation and their function.
- Identify the available databases for solar radiation
- Model the power produced in a rooftop solar installation with hourly resolution
- Formulate hypotheses on possible causes of errors and uncertainties when modeling a solar photovoltaic installation.
