Researchers at the Northwestern Polytechnical University in China have fabricated a flexible photovoltaic micro-power system for applications in wearable electronics. “We built the system by ...

Many photovoltaic (PV) devices, such as PV panels and concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) modules, require outdoor testing for design verification, durability, and safety. A low-cost means of testing the ...

In modern photovoltaic (PV) system design, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) circuit and algorithms are implemented digitally (in a microcontroller unit or FPGA), so that those advanced ...

Few can question the increasing role of photovoltaic (PV) technology as a scalable, robust means of renewable energy. Yet PV cells are but one element, albeit a critical one, in an overall PV system.
