1.5 Ideal I-V Curve

EQ1.5.1 Ideal I-V Curve
1/1 point (graded)
John has used a solar simulator setup to measure the relation between the voltage and
the current of a small photovoltaic module (40 cm long and 40 cm wide). The
measurement setup maintains the standard measurement conditions: the temperature is
controlled to 25 C , the incident spectrum is the AM1.5 spectrum and the incident power
o

density is 1000W /m2 . The result is illustrated in the gure below.
