PROCEDURE
Experiment A: Basic Photovoltaic Setup.
1. Setup every component into the PV-Exp Simulation Board accordingly based on the
label on the board.
2. Connect all the components on the board by using the connection wires by following
the same colour to a 12V invertor.
3. Connect a photovoltaic panel to the PV-Exp Simulation Board and expose toward the
solar power simulators. Input means between the pv panel and the solar charging
controller while output mean between the solar charging controller and the storage
battery.
4. Switch-on the solar power simulator no 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 and 8 to the full power.
5. Try to connect any 12V load on the inverter.
6. Measure the input and output of current and voltage inside the circuit accordingly by
using a multimeter and record the reading.
1. Switch-off the solar power simulator and disconnect all of the wires from the
components on the PV-Exp Simulation Board.
2. Make a series connection to the couple 12V batteries by using a jumper wire to make
it 24V storage battery.
3. Connect all of the components on the PV-Exp Simulation Board to a 24V inverter.
4. Install two photovoltaic panels in parallel arrangement into the system.
5. Switch on the solar power simulator no 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 and 8 to the full power.
6. Try to connect any suitable load from the inverter.
7. Measure the input and output of current and voltage inside the circuit by using a
multimeter record the reading. Input means between the pv panels and the solar
charging controller while output mean between the solar charging controller and the
storage batteries.
8. Switch-off the solar power simulator and change the arrangement of photovoltaic
panels from parallel to series arrangement.
9. Repeat step 5 to step 7 by changing the series photovoltaic panels to parallel
arrangement.
