Lawrence Technological University
Course Title: Solar Energy Techniques Laboratory
Course Number; EEE4921
SUMMER A CLASS
Instructor: Dr. L. Anneberg

Course Description:

This lab is intended as a hands-on introduction overview of various renewable energy technologies and their current applications. Emphasis will be placed on energy consumption, efficiency, and conservation, quantification of solar energy, and some of the basic physics of energy conversion. Technologies include passive and active solar thermal, photovoltaics, and possibly wind turbines. There are a variety of technologies that have been developed to take advantage of solar energy and this one credit class will cover basics, be hands on, and include the following topics:

Solar Cells: Operating Principles and Technology
Producing electricity directly from sunlight.
Concentrating solar systems and photovoltaics
Using the sun's heat to produce electricity.
Passive solar heating and daylighting
Using solar energy to heat and light buildings.
Solar hot water
Heating water with solar energy.
Solar process heat and space heating and cooling
Photovoltaic Technology and Manufacturing
Sustainable Energy
Renewable Energy Product Reliability
Applied Photovoltaics
Renewable Energy Engineering
