The energy per unit are at any point on the earth surface on the earth can be realistically calculated by using a novel softwre developed in this laboratory. Besides, there are other simulation programs that have developed to calculate alpha and azimuth angles of the sun at any day and hour in the year with respect to any location on the earth.

Moreover, various homework and exercises have been given to students in graduate courses that are realted to 1MW solar energy production unit desgin and home furnace designs.

Equipment Infrastructure in the Laboratory

Home made equipments are in service, such as slar alpha and azimuth angle measurement device and solar cell voltage-current characteristics measurement device with light source.
