    Condition No prerequisite
    The goal To identify the problems of sustainable development concerning the energy needs of growing human population. Explain the efficiency of energy conversion. Introduction to technologies of energy conversion from renewable sources. Explain the solar panel positioning, work principles and technology. Introduce the energy storage systems.
    The outcome Knowledge of energy sources on Earth and the possibilities of their use as well as the energy conversion efficiencies. The student knows to position the solar panel optimally and to determines by software the energy yield and economic viability. The student knows an optimal energy storage for any renewable energy source. Students are familiar with measurement and exploitation of wind energy.
