    DetailsoftheSolarPVLaboratoryKits

    Introduction
    India has launched the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) in 2009 with the ambitious target of installing 20,000 MW of solar power in the country by the year 2022. In ordertoachievesuchatarget,thereisaneedfortrainedmanpowerintheSolarPhotovoltaic. TheMinistryofNewandRenewableEnergy(MNRE)hassetupNationalCentreforPhotovoltaic Research and Education (NCPRE, www.ncpre.iitb.ac.in) at IIT Bombay. This center is working towards the research and development, as well as education and training in the field of solar PV. As a part of education and activity, NCPRE conducted Teach 1000 teachers Training Program. The laboratory kit was developed for this workshop as experiments are helpful to enforcetheconceptstaughtduring thelecturehours. TheLaboratorykitwasfound veryuseful for training manpower and therefore, MNRE has funded NCPREs effort to provide complementarylaboratorykitstocollegesrunningcoursesinSolarPVorRenewableEnergy.
