CARAGA STAE UNIVERSITY

GREEN SCHOOL AND LABORATORY

 Objectives
• The objectives of these Laboratory Facilities are:
(i) to allow students to develop the knowledge and skills required to
plan and prepare for, installing (including testing and
commissioning) and handover of solar photovoltaic systems. The
Laboratory focuses upon grid connected and hybrid PV systems
that are within the scope of the Electrical/Electronics Engineering
Department with an electrical output of up to 3 kilowatt peak
(kWp) connected to both single and three–phase installations.
(ii) to provide a facility where electrical engineering practitioners
can have access to solar PV systems and be trained on the
technology
(iii) to provide trainings and seminars for engineers, distribution
utilities, and the general public on the installation of these PV
systems.
