CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
To Plot I-V and P-V characteristics of a PV panel and to study about Solar PV
module by vaying irradiance or temperature .
COMPONENTS REQUIRED
THEORY
Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are devices that convert sunlight directly into
electricity using the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight strikes the surface of a solar
cell, the photons energize the electrons in the semiconductor material, causing them to
move and generate an electric current. PV systems are widely used for sustainable
energy generation and are a crucial component in reducing dependency on fossil
fuels.A photovoltaic module consists of multiple solar cells connected in series or
parallel. Each solar cell is made of semiconductor materials such as silicon, which are
treated to form a p-n junction
Open-Circuit Voltage (Voc): The maximum voltage output when the circuit is open
(no load).
Short-Circuit Current (Isc): The current when the terminals are shorted.
Maximum Power Point (MPP): The point on the curve where the product of voltage
and current is maximum, representing peak power output.
Fill Factor (FF): A measure of the module's quality, calculated as the ratio of the
actual maximum power to the product of Voc and Isc.
I-V and P -V characteristics
𝑐 = 13.54 A ,520 W
Isc increases linearly, but the effect is small compared to the drop in Voc.
RESULT
The I -V and P-V characteristics are succesfully plotted through matlab also the
variation of the parameters like Voc and Isc is studied successfully .
