The Research of the V-I Characteristics of a Solar Panel Using a Computerized Measuring Bench “EPH 2 Advanced Photovoltaics Trainer”

At present, much attention is paid to the use of solar energy. Solar energy, in addition to traditional energy, is ecologically clean while changing. The rarity and the rising cost of fuel is one of the main problems of the scientific technique, which is the acquisition of infinite resources of solar energy. Further research and experiments on the use of solar energy, as well as the use of solar power plants in a number of countries, shows that solar energy can be widely used today based on modern technical capacities. In order to determine the need to use a charger, it is necessary to know a number of parameters: short circuit current, no-load voltage, efficiency, etc. In this work, these parameters are estimated from the results of studies of the current-voltage characteristic of a solar panel obtained in automatic mode using a computer and digital measuring device "EPH 2 Advanced photovoltaics trainer".
