Standards and Testing Experiments for A Photovoltaic Module
Abstract
This study examines the effect of irradiance and temperature on the performance of a PV panel. Additionally this study was focused on two main multi-disciplinary topics. Firstly, the standards and testing for solar modules with main focus being on TS EN 61215 related criteria which has regional nonconformities such as Standard Test Condition with respect to the 250C and testing is examined. This scrutinize will also give insight on selecting to examine this particular standard over many other standards related to solar modules with Natural Test Condition (NTC). Secondly, the knowledge of standards is applied to a real life experiment for a photovoltaic module. Voltage values, current values and temperature values were taken and graphs were singled out in this paper. Consequently, the panel which was deemed unfit to meet the standards was subjected to testing in this study. An average cell temperature higher than NOCT value is observed. Higher temperatures in solar modules decreases open circuit voltage, causing the panel to enter the breakdown region where current drops earlier. Thus, due to this aberration we were able to observe the breakdown region for the tested panel.
