Description:



Dear visitor,

Welcome to our web photovoltaic laboratory.

The solar technology is one of the fastest developing renewable technologies. "It has been over 150 years since Besquerel in 1839 first discovered that a photo voltage was developed when light was directed onto one of the electrodes in an electrolyte solution. Adams and Day were the first to observe the photovoltaic effect in a solid (selenium) in 1877 . However, it was not until 1954 that literature published results on the use of photovoltaic effect in energy conversion processes. "[1].

The components of solar generator system, including photovoltaic arrays, power electronics and AC loads. PV arrays often combine as many (PV) cells in series to produce voltages in the range of 10 to 100 V at the power generation (50 - 200 W) and currents of several amperes. The PV modules were divided into series connections (called a string), each generating a high voltage (approximately 150 - 300 V). These series connections were then connected in parallel, in order to reach high power levels. These series connections were then connected in parallel, through string diodes. If the loads are AC, an inverter can be incorporated into the system to convert the DC from the PV arrays to AC. Grid-connected PV systems connect the output of the PV inverter directly to the utility grid and thus capable of supplying power to the utility grid.
