| Abstract | ||
| This paper surveys how the characterization process for a Photovoltaic module (PV) is implemented to serve in introductory undergraduate courses and research purposes. The characterizer has the capability of measuring the I-V and P-V characteristic curve of the PV module attached to the system with indicating the solar irradiance that is sensed during the measurement. Also a control circuit design is implemented for dual tracking the PV module. In addition, the developed program introduces the facility of compering the measured data with a numerical based simulation data results from a PV simulator using MATLAB platform. The use of the NI Environment facilitates the Internet publication opportunity where users can access the setup remotely. The remote accessibility is considered as a significant credit in integrating the setup as a demonstration tool in teaching modules as well as student accessibility. The results of the NI software is presented and discussed and analysed. | ||
