Course Description

This course is intended to provide all engineers and designers with knowledge of how a solar-powered system works, the components that make up the system, and the considerations involved in a solar system for a small structure. It will also be beneficial for those desiring to be able to speak intelligently about solar electrical systems and their practicality for a particular application. However, it is not intended to be all-inclusive in the design or installation of solar electrical systems.

The course will start “at the beginning” and then progress through the sequence of components… from the solar panels to the actual electrical appliances and the design involved in each of these components. Obviously, these same principles apply to a system for a larger structure but there is much more involved with larger power systems.

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Nice overview with a few design exercises, 9.24.2011

A concise course to familiarize us with the jargon, design elements, and preferred equipment and layouts to achieve efficiency or other goals. Some story problems. The discussion on batteries may need further development. My answer on the least desirable battery was a guess because the narrative was specific on this issue. Don't like to guess on a test. All in all a fun course for a lite electrical refresher in a 'hot' design area.
