Home » Renewable Energy » Photovoltaic (PV) Cell: Characteristics and Parameters PV cell characterization involves measuring the cell’s electrical performance characteristics to determine conversion efficiency and critical parameters. The conversion efficiency is a measure of how much incident light energy is converted into electrical energy.
This paper is divided into seven sections. Starting with an introduction in 1 Introduction, 2 Grid-connected photovoltaic system covers the basic architecture of grid-connected solar PV system, solar cell, PV array, MPPT, and filters.
Other important characteristics include how the current varies as a function of the output voltage and as a function of light intensity or irradiance. The current-voltage (I-V) curve for a PV cell shows that the current is essentially constant over a range of output voltages for a specified amount of incident light energy.
