Abstract
Monitoring systems with high precision and high reliability are of great importance in the interest of harnessing solar power with ever increasing power outputs and efficiencies. Typical monitoring systems do not allow for the tracing and analysis of I-V curves. A portable and light-weight method for tracing I-V curves of photovoltaic strings has been developed using a capacitive load.
