Jordan, over the past decade, has consistently exhibited substantial annual growth in renewable installations, particularly in solar and wind energy. The nation’s commitment to a sustainable energy landscape is evident, with the share of renewable energy in electricity capacity rising from 0.5% in 2013 to an impressive 39.1% in 2022.The critical need for well trained personnel in the renewable energy sector is apparent amid this transformative landscape. However, challenges faced by public universities, especially in emerging nations like Jordan, necessitate innovative educational strategies. This research advocates for the adoption of Virtual Reality (VR) technology as a cost effective solution to enhance the educational gaps in the training. The Meta Quest 2 VR system that is employed in this research demonstrates to be a game changer in fostering engaging learning experiences. By having a user friendly interface, and by having advanced features enable the creation of a realistic 3D renewable energy applications such as solar photovoltaic (PV) system, enhancing the educational architype. Implementation of a PV system in VR environment at the Renewable Energy Department at Al Al-Bayt University yielded promising results. Through a creative project, students designed and interacted with a VR model by simulating a solar PV system bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. The study emphasizes the educational innovation achieved through VR technology as a powerful tool for creating immersive and realistic educational experiences.
