PV Cell and Module - Part of Modular Certificate in PV System Technology (Elective)(DEEC2)
About This Course
This module covers the basics from light to semiconductor and PV cell/module design and characterization. Topics include the solar energy, semiconductor and junctions, working principles of PV cell, factors that can affect the PV cell’s output, design considerations of PV cell/module, new cell and module technologies, general PV module failure modes and detection methods. The core IEC standards such as IEC61215/61730 and UL61730 PV modules will also be introduced. Learners, work in group, to analyse specification and performance of solar PV modules available in the local market.
