RENG 201L - Solar Thermal Energy Lab (2)

This course explores Solar Thermal systems in typical application environments. Topics include: Site plan, sizing, safety, regulations, and connection, Flat panel, Evacuated Tube as well as geothermal systems will be utilized to provide hands on training. Systems simulation will also be incorporated. We are planning to acquire an enclosed equipment trailer to build a rolling classroom for hands on installation of PV, wind turbine, solar thermal and geothermal systems. This will be a 2 credit hour class, encompassing 4 hour of lab.
