Photovoltaic System is composed of one or more solar panels combined with an inverter and other electrical and mechanical hardware that use energy from the Sun to generate electricity. PV systems can vary greatly in size from small rooftop or portable systems to massive utility-scale generation plants.

Mobile photovoltaic solar array:

• Wheeled stainless steel frame

• Photovoltaic panel consisting of two modules, 120W peak power each or better

Poly crystalline type

Table top control panel:

• Steel structure with:

• Front side: comprehensive colored diagram of the system

• Back side: AC loading system consisting of five 30 W (equivalent) switchable lamps.

Charge controller:

• Rated Voltage: 12 Vdc

• Maximum Current 20 A

Inverter:

• Continuous output power: 600 W

• Peak power: 1200 W

• Input voltage: 12 Vdc

• output voltage: 230 Vac, 50 Hz

• Output waveform: sine wave 

• Stop for low battery charge

• protection against overload, short circuit, over temperature,

Instrumentation:

• Digital voltmeter for DC parameters,

• Digital ammeter for DC parameters,

• Multifunction instrument, microprocessor-based, for AC parameters,

Socket for connection to the spotlight, 4 mm safety holes for connection to the portable rheostat, 4 mm safety holes for connection to the lamp DC 12V

Buffer battery:

• Rated voltage: 12 Vdc

• Capacity: 100 Ah

PC data acquisition:

• Data acquisition board with USB interfaces for connection to PC and voltage and current converters.

• A specific software to monitor (record, plot, save) system parameters.

Solar radiation sensor

• For measuring and transmitting the global solar radiation incident on the PV panel to the control panel.

Transducer type: pyrometer

Range: 0 ÷ 2000 W/m2

Solar Tracker

Steel framework and gearing system for orienting the panel on two degrees of freedom in space (up-down, east-west)

Portable Rheostat : To draw the PV panel characteristic curve

Indoor Lighting Device :To operate the photovoltaic panel indoor

Connection lead set :All connection leads are used for connecting the Photovoltaic System and it must be based on the rating of the photovoltaic system
