The dynamic development of battery technology and design based on the flow of lithium ions, mainly driven by the needs of the automotive industry leads to the Conclusion That they are becoming a more viable alternative to traditional lead-acid batteries. Their use is driven by the ability it quickly charge and discharge times higher durability, maintenance-free operation and much smaller dimensions as well as weight. The emergence...

W układzie MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) poziom mocy maksymalnej jest dynamicznie śledzony dla różnych poziomów napromieniowania i temperatur przy użyciu pamięci, zaprojektowanej jako sterowany mikroprocesorem moduł. Zastosowany algorytm w sposób ciągły poszukuje maksymalnej wartości mocy podawanej ze źródła (modułów PV) oraz pobieranej przez obciążenie. Napięcie wyjściowe z układu MPPT zależy od aktualnych warunków, w jakich...

Dynamic growth of photovoltaic capacity in Poland encourages many entities to invest in photovoltaic systems. However, in the case of buildings with low roof-bearing capacity it can be problematic or even impossible to mount conventional PV modules due to their relatively high weight. Hence, the use of lightweight PV modules is a potential solution. In this paper four different prototype silicon lightweight modules of novel structure...

The worldwide growth of photovoltaics (PVs) has formed an exponential curve for more than four decades. During this period of time, PVs have evolved from a pure niche market of small-scale applications towards becoming a mainstream electricity source. The influence of temperature on the electrical parameters of crystalline silicon solar cells and solar modules is well described in the literature. In order to diminish these effects,...

The deposition of pollutants on the surface of photovoltaic (PV) modules reduce the efficiency that can be achieved in given climatic conditions. This results in the loss of energy yield obtained from the solar installation. A number of factors determine the scale of this problem. The first of these is the amount of impurities deposited, the associated amount of precipitation, and the speed and direction of the wind. A second aspect...
