Solar Energy Labs – Part 1 ENGR 1181

Solar Meters in the Real World A real world application of using solar light to generate power is describe in this video. In this video, solar power is concentrated with mirrors to heat a fluid which is then converted to steam and later to electricity. in this video

Today's Learning Objectives  After today's class, students will be able to: Describe and build both a calibration and solar meter circuit Convert decimal values to binary values Discuss how a potentiometer works Explain how a photodiode light sensor works Compare a pictorial image of a circuit to a schematic wiring diagram Use a Photodiode Light Sensor and a Binary Voltmeter circuit to measure the intensity of light (in Watts/m 2 )
