Using the daily and individual energy consumption and generation graphs of your school's PV system or a reference system, the benefits of the integral will be extended to a realistic and pragmatic example.


 Our educational concept and its implementation in software


 Physics and engineering thrive on integration. Integration is a fundamental tool of calculus that assigns "volume" to sets, probability spaces, and functions. Furthermore, integral calculus is fundamentally linked to the "change" of continuous functions.


 In a first degree program in a STEM subject, the volume of a solid of revolution can be easily found through integration (and selection of a suitable coordinate system) – this is a practical example.
 Benefits of integration.


 Integration is not limited to geometric figures, of course. It also has a realistic and practical interpretation in units of space. Photovoltaic systems, due to their diverse applications, are an indispensable element of a successful energy transition. Most PV systems have internal data loggers that record the energy generated.
 Sample the system's output at certain intervals. We will use these samples for this lesson.
