Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a conceptual framework for handling end life (henceforth EoL) scenarios solar photovoltaic (solar PV) panels, which includes different options available businesses and end-users, as well promoting the collaboration between government all relevant stakeholders. Design/methodology/approach This adopts purposeful sampling, secondary data content anal...

In the present study, an experimental research was conducted on photovoltaic solar energy potential in Bingöl province. electrical that (PV) panel can produce hourly at inclination angle of 39° and 45° surface temperature were investigated. The be produced indoors outdoors winter conditions calculated from with 25 W power. It has been observed highest efficiency obtained angle. concluded while ...

The paper adapts the NL-ESC technique to extract the maximum power from photovoltaic panels. This technique uses the gradient and Hessian of the panel characteristic in order to approximate the operation point to the optimum. The paper describes in detail the gradient and Hessian estimations carried out by means of sinusoidal dithering signals. Furthermore, we compare the proposed technique wit...

Thin-film solar cells enable a strong reduction of the amount of silicon needed to produce photovoltaic panels but their efficiency lowers. Placing metallic or dielectric nanoparticles over the silicon substrate increases the light trapping into the panel thanks to the plasmonic scattering from nanoparticles at the surface of the cell. The goal of this paper is to optimize the geometry of a thi...

Manufacturers of photovoltaic panels typically provide electrical parameters at only one operating condition. Photovoltaic panels operate over a large range of conditions so the manufacturer s information is not sufficient to determine their overall performance. Designers need a reliable tool to predict energy production from a photovoltaic panel under all conditions in order to make a sound de...
