Soiling on the surface of a PV module reduces the amount of light reaching the solar cells, decreasing power performance. The performance of the PV module is generally restored after contaminants on the module surface are washed away by rain, but it accumulates at the bottom of the module owing to the thickness of the module frame, causing an output mismatch on the PV module. Since PV modules are usually installed horizontally or vertically outdoors, soiling can occur at the bottom of the PV module, depending on the installation direction due to external environmental factors. This paper is analyzed the output characteristics of a PV module considering its installation direction and the soiling area. The soiling was simulated to use transparent films with 5% transmittance, and the transmission film was attached to the bottom part of the PV module horizontally and vertically. When the soiling area was 33% of the string at the bottom of the PV module, the power output decreased similarly regardless of installation direction. However, when the soiling area was 66% of the string at the bottom of the PV module, it was confirmed that the output performance decreased sharply when installed vertically rather than horizontally.

In this paper, we study The Effects of PV Cell's Electrical Characteristics for PV Module Application. Photovoltaic module consists of serially connected solar cell which has low open circuit voltage and high short circuit current characteristics. The whole current flow of PV module is restricted by lowest current of one solar cell. For the experiment, we make PV module composing the solar cells that have short circuit current difference of 0%, 1%, 3% and Random. The PV module exposed about 35days, its the maximum power drop ratio was 4.282% minimum and 6.657% maximum. And PV module of low current characteristics has electrical stress from other modules. The solar cell temperature of PV module was higher compared to PV cell. To prevent early degradation, it is need to have attention to PV cell selection.

This paper describes a solar energy conversion strategy is applied to grid-connected single phase inverter by the maximum power point of conversion strategy. The maximum power point of tracking is controlled output power of PV(photovoltaic)modules, based on generated circuit control MOSFET switch of two boost converter for a connected single phase inverter with four IGBT's switch in full bridge. The generation control circuit allows each photovoltaic module to operate independently at peak capacity, simply by detecting of the output power of PV module. Furthermore, the generation control circuit attenuates low-frequency ripple voltage. which is caused by the full-bridge inverter, across the photovoltaic modules. The effectiveness of the proposed inverter system is confirmed experimentally and by means of simulation.

The present society have been polluted the earth environment by the rapid industrial growth. So, the meaning of sustainable development is doing more important. Therefore the technology skills of sustainable architecture techniques have been studied many-side of energy as like energy saving and substitutive energy. But, See the studies until now, there have been just one system either energy saving or substitutive energy. So, the paper studies about energy saving system with substitutive energy system(the double-skin facade system with PV modules) and presents the performance of system through the analysis of reduction of the energy load, the solar radiation on the slope angle of PV module, the blind effect in system.

The performance of PV module applying the photovoltaic effects of the semiconductor is affected by temperature. Until now, most of PV module show that the power and efficiency falls at a rate of ${\sim}0.5%/^{\circ}C$ and ${\sim}0.05%/^{\circ}C$ respectively as increase of ambient temperature. In this study, the effect of fins attached to the backside of PV module was investigated through a thermal analysis program and simulation model. The result shows that the inner temperature of PV module with fin falls about $10^{\circ}C$ compare to that of ordinary PV module.

지구 온난화를 대비하여 PV(Photovoltaic)를 활용하여 생산된 전기를 산업현장이나 기타 다양한 분야에 활용되고 있다. 이러한 PV 시스템은 PV 어레이를 통하여 생산된 직류 전기를 인버터(inverter) 통하여 교류 전기로 전환하여 활용하고 있다. 더욱 현재에는 PV의 가격 하락으로 그 활용도가 높아 졌고 CO2 절감을 위해 정부차원에서 적극 장려하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 PV 기반의 발전 시스템을 모니터링하기 위하여 블루투스 모듈을 이용하여 데이터 브릿지를 설계하였다. 설계된 브릿지 모듈을 통하여 태양광 인버터에 대한 정보를 모니터링 할 수 있도록 하였으며, 주변 환경에 대한 환경 정보를 안드로이드 기반의 스마트폰에서 모니터링 하도록 하였다. 이러한 스마트폰 기반으로 스마트 그리드(smart grid) 시스템을 모니터링 할 수 있는 스마트한 모니터링 시스템을 제시하고자 한다.

The PV modules are affected by heat. The hotter the PV module, the lower the power output, then the life time will be short. If the cell temperature rises above a certain limit the encapsulating materials can be damaged, and this will degrade the performance of the PV module. This is called the ‘hot spot’ formation. This paper presents that the PV module temperature can be estimated by using a thermal analysis program, and demonstrates the thermal characteristics of the PV module.

If the Photovoltaic(PV) Module should get physical load, the PV module will be warped according to elongation of the front glass and then micro-crack will be occurred in the heat sealed Solar Cell. This micro-crack drops output of the short circuit current and the open circuit voltage of the PV Module. This is because of increase of resistance component by micro-crack. Micro-crack at specific Solar Cell in the module reduces the durability of PV Module such as less output, Hot-Spot in the PV module caused by Solar Cell output mismatch, heat generating as resistance component caused by micro-crack. In this study, among some factors which effect to the output of crystalline PV Module, we will see how the micro-crack caused by mechanical stress effects to the electrical output of PV Module.
