Developing a test platform for PV panels

PV panels present a growing field of energy harvesting systems. New trends and problems are appearing in this technology like fire, faults, and degradations. Moreover, some behaviors are not implemented in PV simulation models like thermal behavior or degradation processes. In addition, some simulation results among researchers present divergence. In this paper we developed a test platform for PV panels in order to conduct different tests in which the inputs of the PV (Position, Irradiance, and Temperature) can be controlled.
