Indoor Solar Energy Training System | RVX 001
Product Overview
The Indoor Solar Energy Training System RVX-001 is a modular solar power experimental platform that demonstrates power transformation from solar PV modules to battery and from battery to loads. The system supports eleven structured experiments covering solar module behaviour under illuminance, temperature, and shading conditions; parameter testing; charge controller and inverter functions; inclination angle effects; and efficiency calculation. As a complete solar energy trainer, the RVX-001 integrates a moveable solar module frame, artificial light source with intensity control, temperature sensor, PWM charge controller, off-grid power inverter, and power meter — all on a single frame. DAQ software designed in National Instruments LabVIEW is included and runs on any Windows system.

Construction and Design
The Indoor Solar Energy Training System RVX-001 is built around a modular architecture in which each functional block is housed as a discrete, interchangeable module mounted on a common frame. The solar power experimental platform features a moveable solar module frame accommodating the Dual Solar Panel Module, allowing inclination angle adjustment relative to the artificial light source. The Artificial Light Source Module and Artificial Light Control Module provide controllable illuminance for repeatable indoor testing. A temperature sensor is integrated for thermal characterization. The PWM Solar Charge Controller, Off-Grid Power Inverter, and Measuring Module complete the power chain. All modules are interconnected via the included cable set. The battery (12V standard, 24V on demand) is not included and must be sourced by the end user.
