This paper proposes a new optimization approach for the metallization design of solar cells and modules. While previous works have only optimized a maximum of two parameters at a time (which might lead to the loss of the optimal solution), we developed a graphic user interface tool in MATLAB called Photovoltaic Grid Optimizer (PV‐GO) which is able to optimize several parameters in parallel (fingers,...
This paper describes the design and implementation of a novel two axis sun tracking system which utilizes no external light sensors to make PV cell facing in the direction of maximum irradiation to promote system efficiency. The novelty lies in the practical utilization of solar panels as the sensors. The hybrid of the solar cell's electrical attributes is used to determine insolation parameter. The...
An efficient solar energy harvester for low power wireless sensor node is proposed in this paper. In the proposed harvester, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is achieved by using constant voltage tracking principle. The implementation of the MPPT control circuit is carried out using analog discrete components. This is to minimize the energy consumption in the electronic circuits. Experimental test...
