New vocational educationin Renewable Energy in Europe Willi Kirchensteiner, StD
Start learning about energy (EE) and photovoltaics (RES)already at elementary and secondary schools! Later we need experts in Renewables! German proverb: „What little Hans didnt learn – big Hans will never learn!“ High-efficient learning by: • Action-oriented lessons • Developing concepts • Achieving projects • Learning by doing • Earning not only knowledge but also skills and experience • Fun / inclusive
Fundamental knowledgeabout Energy! Basic-Experiment:Producingelectricalenergy on the “Generator Bike“for • Consumer-electronics • Filament lamp • Energy-savinglamp • Waterheater (0,5 l)
Human-Powered-Disco-Station It`s astonishing how much loudness you can produce by your body-energy – but only for one song!
Providing sun-energy with the PV-Suitcase • Weexplore the basicprinciplesofphotovoltaics! • With the “Solar Power Case“ we can show a lot of PV-circuitry! • With new knowledge and experience of PV-systems we can design our own experiments!
2. Initial vocational education for electricians and plumbers New curricula since 2003 in Germany!…. + New content: • Energy-Efficiencyand • Using Renewable-Energy! New teaching material: • Laboratory for Renewable Energy Systems • Experimental equipment • Demonstration-construction • Training-roofs • ….etc. PV-Laboratory: Demonstration of an electric arc, measurement etc.
„Action-oriented lessons“: Stand-alone and grid-connected arrangements can be assembledwith this laboratory!

3. Continuingeducation for Solarteur European certification international accreditation
Training course development during the IEE/09/763/SI2.558302- Install+RES

The funny final Solarteur-Test: „Who isstronger – the Sun or the Solarteur‘s?
Willi Kirchensteiner Thank You for Your attention!
