Abstract

In this paper the experimental measurements are carried out of Photovoltaic power system (PVPS) supplying static resistive load. The currents and voltages of solar cells array, lead acid battery and load are measured during 40 hours under actual conditions. The relationships between previous parameters against time as well as the intensity of radiation received by the Photovoltaic array are experimentally investigated. The experimental results show that the lead acid battery is a good voltage regulator for PVPS.
