The work is devoted to methods for increasing the energy efficiency of photovoltaic modules. Various algorithms for determining the maximum power points and their application to obtain the maximum possible efficiency when using solar panels are considered. The principles of the operation of algorithms are described; their advantages and disadvantages are indicated. Their comparison was carried out according to the main significant parameters. The most suitable algorithm for application at a weather station has been selected.
This paper discusses various methods for positioning solar panels in space for autonomous power supply of weather station equipment. The principles of operation of these methods are described; their advantages and disadvantages are indicated. An effective positioning calculation was also made for one of them. The basic conditions under which one or another method is worthwhile are identified. It is determined that depending on the territorial location and environmental conditions, various positioning methods can be selected.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
