The use of photovoltaic (PV) technology in urban areas is an appropriate way to optimize the use of solar energy, since the energy conversion system is located in the same place as the demand. Thus, the losses caused by ...

In situ renewable energy production is a favourable alternative for reducing pollu- tion and combating climate change. The research area, Cuenca, Ecuador, is located in the Andes near the equator with optimal conditions ...

The efficiency of photovoltaic solar cells decreases linearly with increasing temperature, fundamentally due to the increase in the concentrations of the charge carriers, causing fluctuations in the operating temperature ...

Tracing the characteristic I-V curve of any photovoltaic device is the essential experiment that allows us to obtain reliable information about its state and behavior. Therefore, it must be part of the practical content ...

Abstract— Solar photovoltaic energy has shown a significant growth in the last decade. In the face of this growth, there are challenges to consider for the high penetration rates of solar photovoltaic, since this type of ...

This paper presents evaluations among the most usual MPPT techniques, doing meaningful comparisons with respect to the amount of energy extracted from the photovoltaic panel (PV) (Tracking Factor - TF) in relation to the ...
