Michel Langhammer, doctoral researcher at the Laboratory of Production Engineering (LaFT), and Kathrin Weihe (project manager at the RoboLab Hamburg) presented Libre Solar at the Open Hardware Summit in April 2022:
How to Enable Anyone to Build their Own Renewable Energy System –
„Providing Open Source Resources to build your own photovoltaic energy system is a good start to advance the expansion of renewable energy systems – but requires technical knowledge and access to necessary tools can limit the audience that is actually able to build these systems on their own. In this talk we give an introduction to an open source hardware approach to building a solar box consisting of a solar panel, battery management system, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) device and batteries.“ Watch the full presentation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2cUZpIkC3Q
