Jesse,
I’d also add a good buss bar connection system for your battery banks, maybe
even do one set of series/parallel connections (old way) across the bank and
one set of connections with the series strings interconnected through buss bars
rather than direct string to string. Much better battery life that way and the
more people that learn to do it with buss bars from the beginning the better.

Hi:
I would add,
1. Battery Monitoring with logging capability
2. Remote monitoring and control over the web
3. Lion battery and battery manager, (open format manager circuits so that it
can be seen how things work).
4. GFCI's and ELCI's on AC circuits
5. Generator and automatic generator start controller
If you suggestions on specific models, contact me offline

Hello all,
I was recently hired to be the full time electrical instructor at a local
community college. In the second year of the class there is a 6 credit
"renewable energy and habitat house" course. I have been teaching at this
college as an adjunct instructor since 2009 teaching for 3 of the 7 local iron
ore mines,the local paper mill as well as doing most of the NEC code update
courses. During that time I ran a one year and a 6 month solar PV course. I
have a fairly nice lab built for the PV course consisting of the following:
2 axis tracker
Fixed tilt pole mount
20'x16' mock roof with shingles and metal roofing
Enphase systems
(3) 700W SMA inverters
Outback setup
Xantrax 600v 80A charge controller
Magnum 4024 inverter (AC coupled goal with this)
Tigos
300W Morningstar on a demo cart
Couple Solectria inverter (not used much)
Trace 4024 (purchased in 99)
Trace DR 1524 that goes along with our 1Kw Bergy
Multiple battery brands and types AGM and flooded
Pathfinders
Suneye (2 210s)
600V Solmetric PVA
Racking, quickmounts standoffs, clamps nuts and bolts...
Modules include: 90W sunwize, Solarwolrd 175, REC 215W, silicon energy 190W,
kyocera 210W, solar frontier 100W (I think 100W) AEE 95W, Dasol 15, 30, 135w.
Assuming I stay with this job for the next 25 years, which will take me into my
early 60s and my goal, I will have a yearly budget to spend adding to this lab.
Here is the question, seeing what we have now what individual pieces would you
add or what system would you build with the goal of community education or
training electrical students and electricians.
Long winded but I am very interested to hear your ideas!
Have a good weekend and thanks!
Jesse
