Summary report on photovoltaic panel promotion training

What is a solar photovoltaic Handbook?

Solar photovoltaic section includes fundamentals of solar PV technology, solar lantern and charging station, and solar home lighting systems. Prepared by Centre for Advanced Maintenance Technology (CAMTECH) of the Indian Railways. The handbook covers information on the solar PV panels, installation, maintenance and troubleshooting.

What topics are covered in a photovoltaics book?

It covers the topics on photovoltaics (PV): PV Basics, PV Technology, and PV Systems. I trust that this publication will help build capacity amongst key stakeholders, as solar power continues to become a more and more important contributor to meeting the energy needs in emerging economies.

What is the literature review on PV energy system?

An updated literature review on PV energy system sis given. Market trends, technology and efficiency progress are summarized. Relevant techniques for mitigation soiling effects and heat management of PV cells are reported. Critical challenges, prospects and research priority pathways are highlighted.

What is a job title for photovoltaic installation?

Position title for the job containing the functions of photovoltaic installation, may differ from one company to another. It can be a “technician”, “solar energy technician”, “photovoltaic engineer” or “solar system engineer”. For consistency purpose, the proposed title for this professional activity is "photovoltaic installer" or "PV installer".

What are the performance ratings of PV modules?

Performance ratings of PV modules are measured under standard test conditions (STC) of 1,000 W/m2 of sunlight and 25°C cell temperature. In practice, however, the intensity of sunlight is usually less than 1,000 W/m2, and the cell temperature is typically hotter than 25°C.

Why is thermal management of photovoltaic panels important?

Thermal management of photovoltaic panels through appropriate heat dissipation systems is beneficial in various utilizations since it positively impacts efficiency, operating aspects, extends service life rate decreasing accordingly operational and maintenance costs.
