Completion requirements
- Interpret the I-V (current-voltage) and P-V (power-voltage) curves of a PV cell.
- Understand the significance of key parameters such as open-circuit voltage (Voc), short-circuit current (Isc), and maximum power point (Pmax).
- Analyze the impact of temperature and irradiance on PV cell performance.
- Learn how to read and interpret PV cell datasheets.
- Use PV cell characteristics to predict and optimize system performance.
Understanding I-V and P-V Curves
- Explanation of I-V (Current-Voltage) curve and P-V (Power-Voltage) curve.
- Visual representation of both curves.
- Importance of these curves in evaluating PV cell performance.
