Virtual Reality of Solar Farm for the Solar Energy System Training

This article presents the virtual reality solar farm model (VRSF) for using solar energy training to the trainees or any people who interest in the solar energy system. The trainees could learn as in real situations. It also decreases the cost and difficulty of training in real locations. VRSF has divided into 4 points which are solar farm, substation, control room, and battery charge chamber. In each point has an icon (i) to explain the information of the solar farm system in the format of the video, message, or picture. It also links to nearby placed locations upon the map defining and display via the website: www.vr-solarfarm.com. The result is found that VRFS for the solar energy training system is at a high-quality level, a mean value of 4.22 (S.D. value of 0.64). It was suitable and advantageous for solar energy training with satisfaction means the value at 4.26 (S.D. value of 0.58), at a high level. the learning achievement of the sample group found that the sample group was increased their knowledge after training up 80%. It is concluded that has good performance and suitable for use in training on the solar energy system. The education, which emphasizes science and technology or can (be) called STEM Education.
