Overview

Introduce students to solar energy through hands-on experiments that demonstrate how light is converted into usable electrical power.

The leXsolar PV Ready-to-go Photovoltaic Training System (1105) from leXsolar is a portable solar energy training system that teaches the fundamentals of photovoltaics, solar cell performance, electrical measurements, and renewable energy generation. Designed for STEM education, CTE programs, technical training, and introductory renewable energy courses, the system provides both qualitative and quantitative experiments using real photovoltaic components.

Using solar modules, measurement equipment, electrical loads, and experiment accessories, students investigate how factors such as light intensity, temperature, shading, and circuit configuration affect photovoltaic system performance. The complete system is housed in a durable aluminum case and includes all required equipment along with student and instructor manuals for guided laboratory investigations.
