Solar campus

Offering main image

The Solar Campus is a testing ground for characterisation, testing and experimentation of solar energy systems under real conditions. To learn more about its history, projects and activities, see this summary.

A small open space until 2009, Solar Campus is home to a diverse set of technological prototypes, developed by companies, researchers and science students. It is also a laboratory to support the chairs os Energy and Environment Engineering and the school's business card, the first thing you see when visiting Sciences.

It includes a set of instruments for characterisation of solar radiation and weather conditions on campus. The generated data is public (requests to solar@ciencias.ULisboa.pt).
