Photovoltaics Learning Station:
The students and faculty at la Universidad Technológia de Coahuila (UTC) are interested in learning more about photovoltaics. Located in Parras, Coahuila, this technology-oriented university has a three-year relationship with professor Lonny Grafman and Humboldt State University´s appropriate technology program. Lonny provided a PV module, charge controller, battery, and inverter; these components and the desire to learn about PV provided the perfect opportunity to construct a small photovoltaic learning station. The goal of the project was to create a functional, convenient, portable, and instructional learning station and to ensure the involvement and sustained interest of UTC faculty. This station will be used by UTC students, the community and schools of Parras, and by future Humboldt State Parras Program students as a hands-on demonstration of photovoltaics. We aim to make the station attractive and informative to teachers, students, and potential consumers of this viable alternative energy. A concise list of our criteria for success includes:
- functional
- convenient
- instructional
- safe
- attractive/"nifty"
- portable
- easy to use and maintain
- durable
- adaptable to change if necessary
