As part of the initiative to enhance the applied technical skills of students at the College of Engineering Technology – Al-Mustaqbal University, the Department of Electrical Engineering Technology continued its experimental laboratory sessions. These sessions were conducted at the Al-Mustaqbal Center for Energy Research (MCER) as an integral component of the Solar PV Systems (Lab) course.The sessions were held under the expert supervision of Asst. Lect. Zahraa Ibrahim, along with Laboratory Demonstrators Ali Naiel and Israa.Experimental Scope and MethodologyThe practical application focused on Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Panels, specifically investigating the impact of Series and Parallel configurations on the electrical characteristics of solar systems. Key activities included:Measuring critical parameters such as Open-Circuit Voltage ($V_{oc}$) and Short-Circuit Current ($I_{sc}$) using a specialized Solar Panel Multimeter.Implementing various interconnection topologies between solar modules and conducting a comparative analysis of the empirical data.Graphing the relationships between the number of panels and voltage (for series connections) and between the number of panels and current (for parallel connections).Performing rigorous calculations to compare experimental results with theoretical values and conducting an Error Analysis to ensure data precision.Institutional CommitmentThese laboratory activities underscore the commitment of the Al-Mustaqbal Center for Energy Research to fostering applied education. By bridging the gap between theory and practice, the center aims to cultivate a highly qualified engineering workforce capable of keeping pace with global advancements in Renewable Energy.Al-Mustaqbal University: The Leading University in Iraq.
