Sustainability Lesson Clearinghouse
Schools Going Solar
Lesson Description:
Students investigate the variables affecting power generation using solar energy. Web-based data acquisition
systems (DAS) for installed panels collect downloadable data that allows students to compare and contrast
variables for a single installation or to compare various installations. While every das is different, the major focus
of each is to bring real time and/or historical data to building users.
