In order to characterize photovoltaic devices a procedure to measure I–V curves is required.
The main methods used to perform this task are reviewed. It is shown that at least six distinct …

Current–voltage (I–V) curve tracers are used for measuring voltage and current in
photovoltaic (PV) modules. I–V curves allow identifying certain faults in the photovoltaic …

The series resistance (Rs) of a solar cell is commonly represented as a constant resistance
value. However, because of the distributed nature of series resistance, the effective lumped …

In this work, the authors compared the properties of multicrystalline silicon solar cells which
depended on the kind of following antireflective layers: a-Si: C: H, a-Si: N: H and TiOx …

High‐efficiency solar cells and modules exhibit strong capacitive character resulting in
limited speed of transient responses. A too fast IV curve measurement can thus introduce a …

At present, the development of small-size satellites by universities, companies and research
institutions has become usual practice, and is spreading rapidly. In this kind of project cost …

This paper describes an experimental system developed in the photovoltaic laboratory at the
University of Málaga (Spain) to measure the current–voltage curve of photovoltaic modules …

Solar cells' temperature is a very important parameter that affects performance of
photovoltaic (PV) modules since main electrical parameters of PV cells and modules are …

This article describes a complete characterization system for photovoltaic devices designed
to acquire the current-voltage curve and to process the obtained data. The proposed system …

This paper explores the aggregate effect when caching multiple versions of the same Web
object in the transcoding proxy. Explicitly, the aggregate profit from caching multiple versions …
