2010 through September 2013 at the MAC Marlette facility. These data show that peak demand at harvest time is growing each year at Marlette, and off-harvest-time grain transfer, storage and handling energy usage is also growing each year.For this project the on-site data collection needed to be accomplished with a portable, robust andreliable electric power and energy data acquisition (DAC) system. Initially it was thought that asmall portable DAC system using a laptop and custom assembled current transducers and voltagesensors could be developed at Lawrence Tech. But after seeing the facilities and need for out-doordata collection, it readily became apparent that such an approach was not at all practical. It wasdecided that the Fluke

Conventional sources of energy such as coal, oil, and natural gaswill remain part of our energy sources for decades to come. The negative effect of such sourcesis very clear, especially on air quality. In addition, these sources are non sustainable. Thus

current electricity (DC) andusing an alternator converts it into alternative current (AC) that can be used to power equipmentinside a house. Photovoltaic cells have to combine cost effectiveness with relatively highthroughput energy yield production, in order to achieve this combination a couple of factors haveto be counted in: Material of construction, location that the PV cell will be placed and energyconversion efficiency. Even though there is a high initial cost to purchase and install Solar panels the financial Page 26.1484.2return of investment is worth it besides it provides added home value. Figure 1.

One of experiments isfocused on the PV system and it consists of solar position calculation, site survey, VI curvemeasurements, buck-booster converter and energy storage. Finally, a stand-alone PV system, issetup to deliver DC and AC power to the loads. Through this experiment, the students areexpected to understand the working principles of the PV system and the function of eachcomponent.1.

2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016Soiling is a significant issue thataffects the power output of solar panels [3]. The mechanism of this effect is easy to appreciate –if panels get dirty, the dirt on the top of the panel glazing reduces the transmission of light to thesilicon semiconductor, and as a result photocurrent is greatly reduced. The effect is similar tohaving the panels shaded by a tree or other such obstruction. What many people find surprisingis that even for systems with annual cleaning regimens, reductions in panel performance due tosoiling frequently are found to be as much as 10-15% loss of electrical output. In extreme caseswhere panels are not inspected/maintained, the surface may become completely opaque withgrime
