Description

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
 One polycrystalline inclinable photovoltaic panel: approx. 90W, 12V, complete with a cell for measuring the solar irradiance and a temperature sensor.
 Two monocrystalline inclinable photovoltaic panels: approx. 85 W, 12V, complete with a cell for measuring the solar irradiance and a temperature sensor.
 Two Sun simulators consisting of halogen lamps to provide energy to the photovoltaic modules for indoor use.
 One active DC load used in the renewable energies laboratories configurable as constant resistance or constant current.
 One multifunction Photovoltaic panel measurement module with 2 solar irradiance and solar panel temperature meters, 2 DC multi-meters (current, voltage and power) and Modbus RTU serial communication for remote data acquisition. It includes diodes to connect the solar panels in series and parallel and a potentiometer to control the power of the sun simulator modules.
 Temperature and solar irradiance sensor module.

The Photovoltaic Solar Panel Measurement Trainer is supplied with a software developed in LabVIEW that communicates with the main components of the modular system via RS485 serial communication using Modbus RTU protocol to perform data acquisition and processing.
