Solar Outdoor Trainer
The Solar Outdoor Trainer is an off-grid photovoltaic system with over 800 Wp. With the addition of a hydrogen generator, it is possible to produce hydrogen from clean solar energy. This product extension is called the SHE Solar Hydrogen Extension.
The system enables comprehensive monitoring of solar-powered electricity generation. Power and generation data from the PV modules, the power electronics and the battery are displayed in the supplied software and can be logged for further processing. The energy flows between the individual components are clearly displayed. Mobile solar modules with an adjustable tilt angle and optional sun sensors enable detailed experiments on solar power generation.
