Abstract
Renewable energy systems are environmentally friendly power generation solutions as compared to traditional fossil generators, and as a result have created a continuously expanding job market. The global investment in solar photovoltaic (PV) systems has gone through a mostly increasing trend in the past ten years, which implies that solar PV systems will own a major share of the power generation and distribution market in the near future. In this NSF-funded project, the state-of-the-art equipment are used to design and develop the new laboratory and course “Solar PV Installation and Troubleshooting”. The new course is designed, developed, improved, and enhanced in close collaboration with industrial partners in order to prepare the students for the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP). In this paper, the equipment used in this new course as well as the course outline and laboratory experiments will be presented and explained.
