Laboratory Development for a CCLI Course on PV Engineering AbstractWith energy cost rising and the dangers of climate change due to energy-relatedgreenhouse effect, there has been a great national interest in renewable energy. Amongthe clean and green power sources, the photovoltaic solar power has the potential tosupply a significant fraction of electrical energy need. With the nation’s focus onrenewable energy and sustainability, people are paying serious attention to alternateenergy and this enthusiasm must be carried on to undergraduate engineering education.With this in mind, a CCLI Type I proposal was submitted to NSF under the title”Development of Novel Learning materials for Green Energy Education Centered arounda PV Test Station”. The proposal was funded in August 2010. The goal of the project isto develop expemplarary learning materials and laboratory modules for PV engineering atthe undergraduate/graduate level to meet the challenge of alternate engineeringeducation. The course learning materials will be integrated with hands-on laboratoryexperience. The paper will discuss the novelty of the laboratory facilities, the equipmentprocured, and the laboratory experiments/projects to follow the course modules.
