A number of harsh environmental conditions can affect the effectiveness and performance of photovoltaic (PV) panels. Understanding and managing these factors is essential to guaranteeing the durability and dependability of solar PV systems. Today, wide ranges of solar module manufacturing technologies are accessible globally, enabling the use of these PV modules in a variety of settings and applications. By simulating and testing the behavior of a solar module, one can investigate the different elements that affect a photovoltaic system's efficiency. Dust accumulation on PV modules in PV power plants is a major constraint in the maintenance and operation costs of solar power plants. Currently, various techniques are used to treat this dirt, ranging from mechanical interventions (brushing) to active and passive electrical interventions. This paper presents a theoretical and experimental study that characterizes photovoltaic modules by devel-oping an electronic card that allows the electrical and thermal performances to be obtained. The design of the card was followed with various comparative tests and validations with various internal and external test benches. The results obtained demonstrated the efficiency and effectiveness of the electronic card in collect-ing results according to the evolution of the working conditions of the solar panel. |
