Experimental study of photovoltaic and aerovoltaic behavior

The company SENCOM in collaboration with the laboratory LASEM of the National Engineering School of Sfax, has just started this work aiming at developing a pilot unit for an aerovoltaic solar system. In the first part, we present the kit with a combined design (photovoltaic/aerovoltaic) which contains an acquisition system to manage the experimental data via a web interface. In the second part, we study the photovoltaic and aerovoltaic behavior of two photovoltaic modules (a black Tedlar PV module with 4BB polycrystalline cells and a white Tedlar PV module with 3BB polycrystalline cells). Then, a comparison was made between the photovoltaic and aerovoltaic configuration. On the other hand, we study the effect of the speed in aerovoltaic configuration on the electrical characteristics of the PV module.
