Publication - Explicit Model of Photovoltaic Panels to Determine Voltages and Currents at the Maximum Power Point
CETC Number 2010-156 / 2011-07-04 Abstract A simple explicit photovoltaic formulation for characterizing and dimensioning cell-arrays is presented. The method permits the short-circuit current, the open-circuit voltage, the maximum cell power and the optimum cell-operation conditions to be determined. Further, the model also allows the easily quantifying of the effects of panel temperature and solar ir-radiance on key cell parameters. Based on several datasheets, the methodology is ...

Publication - Solar Photovoltaic Standards: Research, Development and Harmonization in Canada
CETC Number 2011-014 / 2011-03-30 Abstract Standards are publications that define practices, technical requirements and adopted terminologies for products, services and systems. They allow to improve the quality, safety and efficiency of methods and products. Standards are of increasing importance for photovoltaics. The rapid growth of production is one reason for this, but standards are equally important in ensuring the quality and durability of installed systems, which have a ...
