PV Professional Kit - Photovoltaic Training System

Give students hands-on experience with the technologies and components used in modern solar photovoltaic systems.

The PV Professional kit (1118) from leXsolar is a hands-on photovoltaic training system that teaches solar energy generation, PV system components, and off-grid power system operation through guided experiments and laboratory activities. Designed for CTE programs, technical colleges, renewable energy training, and workforce development programs, the system enables students to explore everything from the fundamentals of solar cells to the operation of complete photovoltaic systems.

Using photovoltaic modules, charge regulators, an MPP tracker, an inverter, electrical loads, and measurement equipment, students can analyze solar cell performance, investigate environmental impacts on power generation, and evaluate the operation of key PV system components. The modular design supports both foundational electrical training and advanced renewable energy instruction in a portable laboratory-scale platform.
