DIY portable I-V Curve Tracer: FAST
Introduction[edit | edit source]
- a fundamental method to for characterizing solar PV module behaviour
- plots the relationship between current (I) and voltage (V) across the module under varying conditions
- cost-effective portable DIY design
Purpose of I-V Curve Tracer[edit | edit source]
- Performance evaluation
- Quality Assurance
- Fault detection
System Description[edit | edit source]
- three versions
- EMR
- SSR
- Cell
Assembly Instructions[edit | edit source]
Operating Conditions[edit | edit source]
- PV modules are subjected to different levels of sunlight or simulated conditions
- Current and voltage measurements are taken at each condition to plot the I-V curve
- Analysis of the curve provides information on parameters like maximum power point (MPP), fill factor, and overall performance
Testing Procedure[edit | edit source]
- indoor/outdoor
- good / broken modules
