To find the maximum power output at different irradiance levels, we need to locate the maximum power point (MPP) on the IV curve corresponding to each irradiance level.
(a) At 0.4 kW/m^2:
- Locate the IV curve for an irradiance level of 0.4 kW/m^2.
- Find the point on the curve where the product of current (I) and voltage (V) is maximum. This is the maximum power point.
- Note down the values of current and voltage at the MPP.
- Calculate the maximum power output by multiplying the current and voltage at the MPP.
(b) At 0.6 kW/m^2:
- Repeat the process for an irradiance level of 0.6 kW/m^2 to find the MPP and the corresponding maximum power output.
(c) At 0.8 kW/m^2:
- Repeat the process for an irradiance level of 0.8 kW/m^2 to find the MPP and the corresponding maximum power output.
By following these steps for each irradiance level, you can determine the maximum power output of the solar cell at different levels of irradiance using the IV curve.
Using the IV curve of a solar cell, Find the maximum power output at (a) 0.4kW/m^2, (b) 0.6kW/m^2, (c) 0.8kW/m^2
