The I–V curve of a PV cell is shown in Figure 6. The star indicates the maximum power point (MPP) of the I–V curve, where the PV will produce its maximum power. At voltages below the MPP, the current is a relative constant as voltage changes such that it acts similar to a current source.
The power curve has a a maximum denoted as P MP where the solar cell should be operated to give the maximum power output. It is also denoted as P MAX or maximum power point (MPP) and occurs at a voltage of V MP and a current of I MP. Current voltage (IV) cure of a solar cell.
The IV curve of a solar cell is the superposition of the IV curve of the solar cell diode in the dark with the light-generated current. 1 The light has the effect of shifting the IV curve down into the fourth quadrant where power can be extracted from the diode.
The photovoltaic cell's power-voltage characteristic is non-linear. The maximum power point (MPP) must be constantly monitored to achieve the maximum performance power from the photovoltaic device. Solar cell implementations have been challenging in recent years.
But a photovoltaic array is made up of smaller PV panels interconnected together. Then the I-V curve of a PV array is just a scaled up version of the single solar cell I-V characteristic curve as shown.
