Wake up: qualify now - profit sustainably

The industry is booming, but where are the professionals and managers of tomorrow? - At the Intersolar 2011 trade fair in Munich, IKS Photovoltaik called on people around the world to think about tomorrow and to set the course for the industry's future in good time. With the motto "Wake up: qualify now - profit sustainably", IKS Photovoltaik presented an impressive production.
At the same time there was a second highlight as part of Intersolar 2011, an anniversary: because exactly 15 years ago, the first Solartrainer profi (training system for professional training and further training) was developed and manufactured. Thanks to various innovations, international design and high quality teaching principles in the most diverse languages, the training systems are today used around the world in schools, universities, training centres, further education institutions as well as for employee training in companies.

Background

Electrical teaching content on structure, functionality, connection as well as installation and plant technology of photovoltaic plants can be conveyed using the Solartrainer profi. The system design allows for experiments both indoors and outdoors. For indoor experiments, a module stand with a solar module is used, amongst other things so that seasonal diurnal cycles can be simulated without any problems. The adjustment of inclination of the module, the influence of irradiation and of temperature are additional options.
A module simulator has been developed for the reproducibility of measurements and in order to be independent of the time of day and the weather. This precisely simulates the function of a photovoltaic module. The short-circuit current is adjustable. Particular importance has been attached to making sure that high-quality components and materials are used, like the fitter will use when building photovoltaic plants.

Experiment content

The basics of photovoltaics can be taught taking into account various influential parameters such as the cases of application of the direct coupling of small systems, stand-alone network creation and parallel network operation, which is particularly interesting for mechanics, using the Solartrainer profi.
