Definitions

  • the electrical characteristics of a typical conventional PV module is determined by the electrical routing of the PV cells within the entire module. These PV cells can be electrically connected in a serial or in a parallel configuration to form a PV string array.
  • the voltage and current values produced by a PV module determines the output power (or Pmax) of a module. These values are further determined by the number of PV cells that makes up the entire PV module circuitry, along with the electrical and optical losses that are fundamentally present within the PV module.
  • PV module System requirements for a PV module varies with regard to end user applications.
  • a PV system designed for a solar farm is configured differently compared to residential system.

Dimensional and mounting requirements can be varied with ease during module design stage, however, electrical characteristics, particularly the output current of a PV module have limited flexibility to be configured with a wide range of options.
  • the short circuit current (Isc) for the PV module is almost equals to the short circuit current of the PV cells, typically around 8-9 Amperes (A), and the primary factor which determines this is the total surface area of a single PV cell.
  • the design of a PV module circuitry allows for higher current output by connecting multiple PV cells in parallel, however, it is not possible to reduce the overall output current to a significantly lower value below the cell's short circuit current. Due to this limitation, the PV module have limited options and cannot be directly integrated into a system or load which operates at a lower current, unless it is coupled with transformers and inverters. Moreover, a PV system or module which operates at higher current suffers from higher resistive losses and this lowers down the overall module or system efficiency.
