The ET 255.02 device is intended as a solar electricity source for the ET 255 solar electricity system and contains four photovoltaic modules on a pivoting frame.
The photovoltaic modules contain serially connected monocrystalline silicon solar cells and deliver a power that is suitable for supplying ET 255. The arrangement of the photovoltaic modules enables illumination during laboratory experiments using the artificial light source HL 313.01, which can be used as an optional accessory.
The illuminance and module temperature are recorded in experiments. The measured values are transferred to the GUNT software in ET 255. In this way, it is possible to investigate how these measured variables affect the operating behaviour of photovoltaic modules and downstream components of the ET 255 solar electricity system. The pivoting mounting of the modules allows inclination angles from 0° to 90°. The influence of the inclination angle on the maximum power point (MPP) can be analysed.
The GUNT software in ET 255 is network-compatible and enables experiments to be monitored, recorded and analysed at any number of workstations via the customer’s own network.
