    2 Performance Test On Solar Photovoltaic Panel

    Uploaded by

    Manish Vankudre
    This document describes a performance test conducted on a solar photovoltaic panel to determine its efficiency at two different angles, 20 degrees and 30 degrees. The test involves measuring the voltage, current, power output, and solar flux received by the panel over time at each angle. The efficiency is then calculated and compared for the two angles. Observations are recorded in a table and graphs are plotted of time versus power, insolation, and efficiency to analyze the results.

    PERFORMANCE TEST ON SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC PANEL

    Aim

    To conduct performance test on the solar panel and to determine its efficiency
    at two different angles 20o and 30o.

    Apparatus required

    Photo voltaic panel, Pyranometer, Multimeters and a Measuring scale.

    Description

    Photovoltaic generation of power is produced by radiation on semiconductor


    device that separate positive and negative charge carries in absorbing material. In presence of
    electric field, these charges can produce a current for use in an electric circuit. Such fields
    exist permanently at junction or into magnetic in materials as built in electric fields.

    Semi-conductor Junction devices are usually known as Photo voltaic cell or Solar cells
    although the term is a misnomer in the sense that it is the current that is produced by radiation
    on photon and not the voltage. A majority of photo voltaic cells are silicon semiconductor
    junction devices. Thus in order to study the photo voltaic cells, one should have an
    understanding of the basics of semiconductors. A solar cell constitutes basic unit of PV
    generator, which is in the main component of power generation.

    Procedure
    1. The dimensions of solar photovoltaic panel is determined using measuring scale.
    2. The PV panel is kept facing either North-South or South-North direction.
    3. Using trigonometry the panel is kept at an angle 200 and 30o from horizontal.
    4. The voltage and current readings from the two PV panels are measured using a
    Multimeter.
    5. This procedure is repeated for every 5-10 min interval.
    6. Using the correlation, the efficiency of panel is found at the respective positions.
