THE CONCEPT OF POWER

UNITS & I-V CURVE

THE POWER IS

• The ability or capacity to do something or act in a particular way.

• Electrical power : the rate per unit time at which electrical energy is transferred by an
electric circuit
• The SI unit of power is the Watt
• One Watt is defined as the current flow of one ampere with voltage of one volt
• Current: is a flow of electric charge. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by
moving electrons in a wire
• Voltage: is the pressure from an electrical circuit's power source that pushes charged
electrons (current) through a conducting loop.
• In the solar system we use kWh as a units of measurement
• 1 kWh = 1000 Watt produced in 1h
 I-V CURVE!

DESCRIPTION
It’s the Current and Voltage curve
• Isc= Short circuit current ( max current
when no resistance in the loop)
• Imp (maximum point of current that we
can get)
 I-V CURVE!

DESCRIPTION
Current-Voltage curve
• Isc= Short circuit current (max
current when no resistance in the
loop)
• Imp (maximum point of current that
we can get)
• Voc= Open Circuit Voltage (max volt
when no load)
• Vmp ( maximum point of volt that
we can get)
 I-V CURVE!
DESCRIPTION
Current-Voltage curve
• Isc= Short circuit current (max
current when no resistance in the
loop)
• Imp (maximum point of current that
we can get)
• Voc= Open Circuit Voltage (max volt
when no load)
• Vmp ( maximum point of volt that
we can get)
• P= Current * Volt (I.V)
• In both cases power = 0 W because
Isc with 0 volt on the axis and Voc
with 0 current in the axis
