The Scolar
Programme for Photovoltaics was initiated as a response to the
Governments Foresight Challenge to develop photovoltaic (PV) technology and
to raise awareness of PV in schools and other educational establishments, both
through demonstration systems and the provision of educational material. The Scolar Consortium
consists of a number of UK organisations which are active in PV, from both
industry and academia.
The website also provides some background on PV technology. Further useful
information on both PV technology and other solar schools initiatives
can be found on other websites
around the world.
Each school demonstration system incorporates a performance
monitoring system. Daily performance results from the school demonstration systems
are available to all schools participating in the programme. The latest
version of the User Manual
can also be downloaded. This includes information on uploading data to the
website as well as trouble shooting and frequently asked questions.
Participating schools also have access to a Chat/Discussion Page on related topics.
Information on the different classes of membership available to schools can
be found under How to Join.
