Lighting Lab for Off-Grid Solar Energy Project Design

In this lab activity from ATEEC, students will learn to match lighting sources with off-grid solar energy installations, comparing a variety of incandescent, CFL, and LED bulbs. This is important to study because "a key element to the design of an off-grid solar energy installation is matching the client’s electrical loads to the capacity of the battery and the anticipated output of the solar array." The document lists materials needed and a detailed list of steps to complete the activity.
