Title: Principles of Optimizing Photovoltaic Cell Power Output PDF
Url: http://www.pspb.org/e21/media/Maximum_Power_Point_v_107.pdf
Publisher: Penn State Public Broadcasting
Description: This lesson is adapted from PSU's GREATT lesson, "Solar Power: The History, Chemistry, and Application of Photovoltaics." In this lesson, students will investigate how to optimize the power output of a photovoltaic cell using a home-made gnomon stand. Data collected from students' investigations will be used to create current-voltage and power-voltage curves to determine the "maximum power point" at which their photovoltaic cell operates.
