With this learning and work task (LWT), you will get necessary knowledge needed for planning and maintaining photovoltaic installations. 

Scenario:
Your school would like to put together a photovoltaic system for its roof. You are asked to check the type and size of a photovoltaic system for 10 ICT workplaces and to decide where the photovoltaic system should be installed. The installation will be executed by an external company. You will take over again after the installation and take care of maintenance and function checks. 

Task description:
You will be responsible for the planning and maintenance part of the photovoltaic installation.

The subtasks of the entire learning and work task will guide you through the process. By calling up the tiles, you will receive the information & tasks required to complete the subtasks. Once you have completed the subtask, please upload or discuss your results.

Objectives:

• To provide teachers with basic knowledge of photovoltaic systems, including how solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, the types of systems available, and their components.
• Provide hands-on experience in the installation and maintenance of PV systems in schools, allowing teachers to guide students through practical installation tasks.
• To foster an in-depth understanding of the role of solar energy in addressing the energy challenges facing rural areas, promoting its use as a long-term, sustainable solution.
• Introduce safety protocols and best practices for working with PV systems, ensuring that teachers and students can handle electrical components safely and effectively.
• Engage teachers in troubleshooting exercises, where they will learn to identify and solve common problems in PV systems, such as faulty wiring or inefficient power generation due to improper installation.
