DAQ software designed in National Instruments LabVIEW is included and runs on any Windows system.
The Solar Energy Trainer with Connection to Mains RVX-003 is a grid-integrated solar power training system designed for technical schools, vocational training centres, and educational institutions. It provides hands-on experience in solar energy technology, grid integration, and mains-connected solar power applications.
Product Overview
The Solar Energy Trainer with Connection to Mains RVX-003 covers the full scope of grid-tied solar power operation. The system enables measurement of mains voltage, load current, voltage, power, and energy. It supports solar panel positioning by inclination and azimuth adjustment. Solar irradiation data can be obtained, and voltage-irradiation and current-voltage curves can be plotted. Inner resistance of the solar panel can be calculated. The system measures electricity delivered to the mains grid, electricity produced by the solar panel and delivered to or taken from the mains grid, and electricity produced by the solar panel alongside mains grid exchange and lamp loading simultaneously. An artificial light source with intensity control is included for indoor operation.
