The first stop was the laboratories focused on the diagnosis and testing of solar panels and energy sources, where they learned about the development, history and current use of solar energy. Students had the opportunity to see how solar panel durability and efficiency tests are performed and got a glimpse into the processes that determine panel performance and longevity.
The next part of the excursion was the battery research laboratories. Students learned how batteries are cycled and measured, but also how they are tested for durability and reliability. The visitors gained an overview of the properties of different types of batteries, a very topical issue in these days of the need to find efficient and environmentally friendly energy sources.
The highlight of the event was a visit to the workshop where the development and construction of the electric formula is taking place. The students were excited and inspired by this ambitious project, as they had the opportunity to see how theoretical knowledge is applied in practice and what role it can play in the automotive industry of the future.
