hello there from Italy!

Hi everyone! I'm an Uni student in civil engineering and I also teach in High school electronics and mechanics (or other classes as needes).
I want to practise with the solar power building an offgrid system trying to spend as little as possible
I hope to learn as much as I can from all of you ?

If you have a "beginning" electronics class maybe build a solar panel. It will not be as efficient as a real one but it's an easy project for a class.
All the materials are available on ebay . I used grade b individual solar cells , some "buss" and "tab" ribbon, and an old sliding glass door.
Just soldering , and basic work. I suggest you use "fire caulking" to seal the panel .

Hi I'm a new teacher (I'm only 25yo) and in this school we have a few project with solar power, some made by some student: one is a "solar tracking system" with two small panel and a structure that rotates itself mounted on a portable cart (so it's easy to move from class to class) and another one is a complete electric panel where the student learn how to cable the system with all the safety part, but last year the inverter broke down and now we are waiting for a new one... they where also courios about my electric scooter, but they still prefer the ICE motorcycle like my vintage Vespa

this weekend I'm going to buy some used panel to start building my offgrid system.
