Using a light source with a power density of 500 W /
m2 for a PV module with a surface area of 0.92 m2, the measured
values at the Tcell = 55 ˚C are given as follows.
The current and voltage value corresponding to the maximum power
point is Vmpp = 30 V and Impp = 1.45.
The open circuit voltage is Voc 38 V and the short circuit
current is Isc 1.70.
The temperature coefficient for this module Voc is 0.16 V / ° C
(ignore for Isc).
According to this, calculate the following.
a) What is the efficiency of this module for the specified
measurement conditions?
b) Calculate the Voc, Isc, Vm, Im, and Pmax values for this module
in standard test measurement conditions (STC).
c) What is the efficiency of the module in STC?
