Calculating the shunt and series resistance of PV module

Shunt and series resistance are important to model a realistic PV module. These resistances demonstrate the non-idealities in a PV module. The series resistance Rs defines the resistance of the material that collects the charge from the PV module. This resistance is small and ideal value is zero. The shunt resistance Rsh defines the defects in the semiconductor and the electron-hole recombination before...

Understanding datasheet of PV module

Every PV module has a datasheet that provides important information about its performance under various conditions. The datasheet is a detailed and comprehensive version of the nameplate which is usually affixed on the back side of the module. In this blog, a datasheet is annotated for a detailed explanation of the datasheet. Understanding the datasheet of PV module  Every PV module has a...
