Solar Power Sensors
Solar Power Sensors starts with a discussion on how solar panels generate electrical energy. It then moves to the electronic components: silicon solar cells, perovskite cells, photovoltaic manufacturing methods and the power generation components: sun trackers, solar inverters, solar battery storage. We reference sensors used to monitor electronics and power generation components, as well as sensors that that are essential for maximizing solar panel efficiency.
Solar Sensors can also be taken for academic credit as ECEA 5351, part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Electrical Engineering.
