dc.description.abstractThis paper presents an improved electronic circuit for testing photovoltaic (PV) modules or strings by tracing their I-V and P-V characteristics. It consists of an electronic fast varying load based on a power MOSFET controlled by means of an innovative sweeping gate-source voltage in order to improve the tracing of the I-V characteristics on an oscilloscope. In order to prevent damage of data acquisition systems and mainly for use with high voltage PV strings, galvanic isolation is introduced for the sweeping signal as well as current and voltage measurements. In spite of this improved characteristics, the developed electronic circuit keeps the advantages of low cost and simplicity. Experimental results obtained with the electronic circuit are presented.
