Purpose: In this lesson, students are introduced to the basic physics and chemistry behind the operation of a solar cell. They will learn how a single crystal silicon cell accepts energy from light and turns it
Using sunshine (or a lamp) and a small PV panel connected to a digital multimeter, students vary the angle of the solar panel, record the resulting current output on a worksheet, and
Students may know a little about solar energy, as some of their homes may use solar panels for heating or cooling purposes. The following projects allow students to set up their own investigations and
In this lesson, your students will be challenged to design their own solar-powered mobile classroom. They will decide what electrical devices (like lighting and computers) the classroom needs, and how
This course trains PV technicians to safely and effectively perform O&M tasks, including inspections, commissioning, performance verification, and troubleshooting.
Photovoltaic System Design and their Components teaches students how solar PV systems can be engineered to meet different situations and goals. Learn what equipment is needed to make various
Learn how to harvest electricity from the sun through the photovoltaic effect for residential, commercial, and utility scale applications. Learn how how to use thermal energy from the sun to heat and cool
EngageExploreReflectMake Career ConnectionsLesson Plan VariationsAsk each group to briefly tell the class about the solar power system they designed (number of panels, wattage, cost, etc.). Compare systems between different groups. Did any groups design identical systems with the exact same number and type of solar panels? Did any group design a unique system with a solar panel that no one else found?

How do solar panels capture energy from the sun? Have students build their own reflector and measure the solar energy output using only a photovoltaic panel, a multimeter,
Empa Solar Energy Europe is a leading energy storage equipment manufacturer and integrator based in Poland, serving the European market. We specialize in C&I energy storage systems for factories and warehouses, industrial battery storage systems for heavy-duty applications, factory energy storage systems (ESS) to optimize production, commercial battery energy storage systems (BESS) for retail and offices, enterprise storage solutions for corporate campuses, industrial park energy storage for multi-tenant sites, commercial battery storage for peak shaving, industrial battery storage systems for backup power, and remote base station power solutions for telecom towers. Our portfolio also includes lithium-ion batteries, system-level battery management systems (BMS), energy conversion systems (PCS), energy storage battery system cabinets, communication cabinets for telecom and data centres, integrated PV-storage systems, distributed energy resources, deep discharge battery technology, and containerised BESS. As a full-service provider, we also offer modular battery racks, backup emergency power, and zero‑carbon microgrids. Our advanced lithium‑ion and sodium‑ion solutions ensure safety, scalability, and high performance for commercial, industrial, and utility projects across Europe.
Our modular energy storage portfolio ranges from compact lithium-ion batteries to 20ft/40ft mobile containers and outdoor all-in-one storage cabinets with IP54 protection. We are a leading energy storage equipment manufacturer, offering communication cabinets for 5G/telecom, server racks for data centers, and IP54 rated enclosures for harsh environments. Our stackable design allows flexible capacity expansion, while our grid-forming technology ensures stable off‑grid operation. Whether for remote base stations, off‑grid power systems, backup emergency power, integrated PV-storage or large zero‑carbon parks, our products feature advanced thermal management, deep discharge cycling, and compliance with European and international standards. We also provide professional energy storage system installation and after‑sales support across Europe.
