☀️ Solar Energy Tool — Where Does It Fit Within This Project?
The Solar Energy Tool is one of the digital outputs within WP5 (Website & App Development). It also features as one of the practical tools to be used in lessons under WP2 and WP3.
🎯 Pedagogical Function
Students will calculate the energy potential of their own school buildings or prototype ‘solar village’ models.
They will visualise electricity savings, CO₂ reduction and financial impact.
This data will be incorporated into their projects as part of the ‘Solar Energy Challenge’.
🌞 Place on the Digital Platform
A section on the Solar4Future website could be as follows:
‘Solar Calculator – Your School’s Solar Power Potential’
With simple inputs, students will obtain outputs such as:
-Energy generated
-Costs saved
-CO₂ reduced
-Equivalent number of trees
