    Electrical power is measured in watts and defined as the amount of energy transferred per unit of time. A watt is equal to an ampere of current flowing through a voltage of one volt. For solar installations, power is often measured in kilowatt-hours, where one kWh is equal to 1000 watts produced over one hour. Current-voltage curves show the combinations of current and voltage output from a photovoltaic device, with the maximum current occurring when there is no resistance and the maximum voltage occurring when resistance is infinitely high.

    POWER CONCEPT

    & UNITS OF MEASUREMENT!


    POWER!
     Electrical Power: is the amount of energy transferred per unit of time
     Units: Watts
     1 Watt = 1Ampere of current which flows through 1 Volt of potential
    difference
     Current: Flow of electric charge (moving eˉ in a wire)
     Voltage: Electric pressure moving the current
     In SOLAR residential : Unit of measurement kWh
     1kWh = 1000Watts produced in 1hour
    I-V curve
     Current-Voltage curve: shows the combinations of current and
    voltage output of a PV device.
     Imax = When there’s no resistance = Isc
     Vmax = When resistance is Infinitely high = Voc
    I-V curve
     Current-Voltage curve: shows the combinations of current and
    voltage output of a PV device.
     Imax = When there’s no resistance = Isc
     Vmax = When resistance is Infinitely high = Voc
