Numeric simulation and laboratory measurement of solar cells

Abstract

The efficiency of a solar panel is influenced by several factors. One of these factors are the ambient temperature together with the surface temperature. Our goal is to present the voltage, amperage, and power change of a solar panel caused by the temperature transient. There are two ways: the numeric simulation and the laboratory measurement. Furthermore, the measurement results can prove the correctness of the simulated results. Temperature transient gives us a chance to investigate cooled and non-cooled solar panel power changing, in case of constant intensity of illumination.
