SoDa:: Services for Professionals in Solar Energy and Radiation

Case Studies - Education

Sebastian Kranz is 18 years old and is attending the final year of the grammar school at Ansbach, in Bavaria, Germany. To pass the "Abitur", he realised an experiment with a solar panel. The hourly irradiation data he got from the SoDa Service helped him for this experiment and he was able to draw conclusions for his dissertation. He wrote "the SoDa Service was a great help". More on his work. Date : November 2005.

The students in the European Master on Renewable Energies are studying several projects. They learn how to exploit information systems such as the SoDa Service to obtain meteorological data or to size solar energy systems. Date : March 2004.

At the University of Paris-1 (France), lectures of geography in first year exploit the SoDa Service to illustrate the course of the sun in the sky and the climatology of the solar radiation in Europe. Date : January 2003.
