An inverter is employed to convert the DC voltage from thebattery bank to 110 volt AC at 60 Hz frequency that is identical to the power from the electricoutlet on the wall. This project will enable students to acquire an essential foundation towardshow to design and build the solar PV systems for various applications. The students will alsolearn the code compliances required by National Electric Code (NEC) during the system designprocess.Based on the available components, the target of this pilot project is to build two solar chargingstations with different capacities.

Research suggests that students feel the need to have access to andfeedback on any identified misconceptions early so that they can plan on making a move tocorrect them [9]. Bull et al. (2010) used a computer-based method called the open learner modelas a means of highlighting first-year introductory electrical circuits students’ interest inacknowledging their misconceptions as a first move towards dealing with their difficulties inlearning as opposed to just receiving general feedback.
