Development Of A Graphical User Interface For The Study Of Parallel-Connected Solar Arrays, Nisha Nagarajan Jan 2011

Development Of A Graphical User Interface For The Study Of Parallel-Connected Solar Arrays, Nisha Nagarajan

Masters Theses

"For any solar array it is necessary to be able to harness the maximum possible power from it. A new technology is proposed to improve the efficiency of solar arrays and harness maximum potential power as well by connecting the solar panels in parallel. This thesis describes the development of a graphical user interface for the evaluation of this parallel-connected solar array technology and to compare different scenarios for solar arrays to predict the potential power output to decide the best configuration for an application. This is done via several computations and analysis of field data. The first paper describes …
