Mini photovoltaic system project: Physics laboratory activities through a technology-rich learning environment

Abstract

In this paper, we describe how to design the mini photovoltaic system project for physics laboratory activities, in which student can use it to get the various information. This proposed system can record several physical quantities at a once, voltage, current, and power for each recording time range. This project uses three types of photovoltaic size, that is 3v, 6v, and 12v. The recording processes using Arduino Uno technology. Each measurement is capable of displaying the recording quantities each time, V-t, I-t, and P-t charts. The time required for recording the data can be adjusted to the design of the laboratory learning. All stored data can be analyzed according to the designed activities by the teacher. This mini photovoltaic system support laboratory activities through technology-rich learning environment.
