The educational
PV system
A full-sized photovoltaic system
for self-assembly in class
With this educational PV system, we want young people to learn how solar energy works at an early age. By working out how it works using our instructions and setting up the system from scratch, the students will experience firsthand how easy it is to use self-generated electricity. The system's dimensions are true to the original, thus conveying a realistic feel for solar energy.
Teamwork plus knowledge
The educational PV system is designed as a ground-mounted kit, allowing students to assemble it independently with the help of a teacher in approximately 1.5 hours. All components are easy to assemble using the included tools.
For assembly, the class/group is divided into two teams (yellow and orange) of up to 30 students. Each team is then divided into three sub-teams, one each for assembling the base, the stand, and the table. Once the three components are complete, the entire team assembles them, attaches the PV module, and plugs in the control box.
The construction is suitable for repeated assembly and disassembly, so that not only one class can gain experience with the solar DIY kit, but many classes/work groups over many years.
The system can be set up facing south or east/west. Other orientations are also possible. The inclination of the modules can also be individually adjusted from horizontal to vertical. This allows students to compare different setup options.
Educational PV system BASIS
Our educational PV system, in its BASIC version, comes with a switch box for stand-alone operation. The maximum output is approximately 350 watts. With proper orientation, this can be used to power electric musical instruments (e.g., electric piano or electric guitar), a small popcorn machine, or similar devices.
Educational PV system PLUS
Alternatively, we offer the PLUS version. In this case, we also supply the system with a control box for grid-parallel operation. The system's power output is limited to 0.6 kW, meaning it can be connected to any outlet in the school's power grid.
As with large PV systems, the PLUS teaching aid system records the generation data. Using a GSM module, the data can be transmitted and made available to the school for use in teaching.

The solar kit is produced by the Brucker Workshop for People with Disabilities Fürstenfeldbruck of the Caritas Association of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising eV
When selecting materials and components, special emphasis was placed on usability as well as recyclability and repairability.
The delivery time is approximately 1 month from receipt of the order. Delivery costs are not included in the price. We send the kit to the schools with clear and descriptive assembly instructions, as well as all necessary components and tools.
