The Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) is a research institute of the University of Central Florida. The free, downloadable curriculum materials listed below were compiled and written by Susan Schleith and Penny Hall of the FSEC. The purpose of each of the four units is “to create an awareness of the power of solar energy, the importance of it in our lives, and its impact on the future of energy development.”

Individual pages may be printed and duplicated for student classroom use, provided that proper credit is given to the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC).
