Outdoor Measurements of Photovoltaic Modules and Systems
Outdoor measurements of Photovoltaic devices are divided in two sections:
Detailed I-V characteristics of photovoltaic modules:
- Sanyo Electric, model: HIP-215NHE5
- SunTechnics, model: STM 210 FWS
- Uni-Solar, model: ES-62T
- Solar-Fabrik, model: SF 130/2-135
- Kyocera, model: KC200GHT-2
- RWE Schott Solar, model: ASIOPAK-30-SG
- Würth-Solar, model: WSG 0036E080
- 2x Solar-Fabrik, model: SF 130/2-135, serial connection, monted on 2-axis tracker
Test Fields, IV characteristic measured every 60 seconds.
Two Axis tracker, I-V characteristic measured every 60 seconds.
Energy measurements of Photovoltaic Systems 1kW in size, made up of modules mentioned above
Basic parameters being measured (calculated):
- Amount of electricity from PV system fed into public grid
- Amount of electricity produced in PV modules
- Maximum Power Points
- Conversion efficiency
- Immunity to climatic conditions
Roof-mounted system, Shott-solar frameless, amorphous silicon modules
1 kW systems with modules from SanyoElectric, Suntech, Unisolar
