PTUK Course (1): Solar Energy Systems (renewable energy)
Completion requirements
- Calculate the power output of a PV cell based on its characteristics and environmental conditions.
- Understand the relationship between cell area, efficiency, and power generation.
- Apply the concept of peak sun hours to estimate daily and annual energy production.
- Use software tools and calculators for PV power generation predictions.
- Evaluate the impact of shading, tilt angle, and orientation on PV power generation.
VI Characteristics:
Pmax = Vmp * Imp
ηmax = Pout max / Pin
= Vmp * Imp / G * Apvcell
Fill Factor (FF) = (Vmp * Imp )/ (Voc * Isc)
