Experiments

  • Solar panel characterization:
  • Measuring solar radiation: Changing the inclination and azimuth of the solar panel
  • Investigating the PV module response to shadow formation
  • Recording the characteristics of the solar modules:
    • Solar Panel Voltage-Irradiation Curve
    • Solar Panel Current
    • Irradiation Curve (calculating the inner resistance of the solar panel)
    • Obtaining the solar panel currentvoltage curve
    • Obtaining the solar panel power-voltage curve
  • Measurement of the voltage and current of the photovoltaic module with overload

 

  • Solar on-grid system:
  • Measuring the electricity delivered to the mains grid
  • Measuring the electricity produced by the solar panel, delivered/taken from the mains grid, and the loading of AC lamps
  • Determining the efficiency of the grid connected inverter
  • Investigating the response of a PV system to a mains failure
  • Solar on-grid storage system:
  • Measuring the generated power of a PV system and battery charging
  • Using Solar Panel and Battery to supply an AC Load

On-grid solar energy systems with storage, often referred to as grid-tied solar systems with battery storage, combine the
benefits of grid-connected solar panels with energy storage capabilities. These systems are designed to generate electricity
from solar panels, store excess energy in batteries, and also interact with the main electrical grid.
