Solar cell simple description
Photons
in sunlight hit the solar panel
and are absorbed by semiconductor
material – silicon.
Electrons
(negatively charged) are
knocked loose from their atoms, allowing
them to flow through the material to
produce electricity. Due to special
composition of solar cell, the electrons
are only allowed to move in a single
direction.
An
array of the solar cells converts
solar energy into a usable amount of
direct current (DC) electricity.

Solar cell characteristics
 A solar cell may be modeled by a current source in parallel with
a diode, shunt and series resistances.
 IL represents the max current of the solar panel (short current)
 Diode forms the I-V characteristic
 Shunt resistor represents the leakage currents (very small)
 Series resistance represents the wiring losses

Solar cell characteristics - variations
For most crystalline silicon solar cells the change
in VOC with temperature is about -0.50%/°C

 Impact of the product of the series resistor and
short-circuit current (ISCRS) is about 25mV/cell.
 Impact of the parallel resistance is small.

Solar cell characteristics example
•
The maximum power point (MPP) on the I-V curve varies with real working conditions
– high dependency on the irradiance and lower dependency on the temperature.

Maximum Power Point

In the technical parameters of the solar cell
panel are defined:
• VMP – voltage at MPP
• IMP – current at MPP

The Inverter for the solar cell panel must
achieve the operation on the MPP. This
method is called as MPPT – maximum power
point tracking.

The presented inverter has implemented the
P&O (perturb & observe) algorithm for MPPT.

To get maximum power from a PV panel
required operating at the optimum voltage.

Selected range of the solar panels

The amount of the solar cells is used to build one solar panel. Usually 72, 36, or other.

For this design was selected panel with 72 cells, this implies MPP at 36V, which fairly
corresponds to 3 x 12V lead acid batteries in series as the back-up for the power source for
the inverter. This battery is used as the energy accumulator for the off-grid inverter usage.

The characteristic of the selected solar panel:
PMAX = 180W
VSC = 44.4V
VMP = 36V
ISC = 5.25A
IMP = 5A
