Description
The Fundamentals of Photovoltaic Energy teaching solution introduces the principles of photovoltaics (PV) and demonstrates how solar cells convert light directly into electrical energy. This table top solution includes a plug and play base unit, which enables students to easily set up and conduct a range of investigations.
Learning Objectives:
• Power dependence on the area of the solar cell
• Power dependence on the angle of incidence
• Power dependence on the level of illumination
• Power dependence on the frequency of the incident light
• Dependence of the solar cell power on temperature
• Determination of efficiency ratio of energy conversion
• Internal resistance of solar cells
• Dark characteristic curve of solar cell
• Inhibiting and conducting direction in illumination and darkness
• IV characteristic and fill factor of the solar cell
• IV characteristic of the solar cell in dependence on the level of illumination
• Shading of solar cells in series connection
• Shading effect of solar cells in parallel connection
• The solar cell as a transmission measure
