Application Notes
This application note introduces the test solutions—comprising Keysight ruggedized handheld and benchtop measuring instruments—for the installation and maintenance of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. This system is designed to harness solar radiation and to convert it to electricity. Solar radiation is an enormous source of renewable energy. In fact, the Earth receives nearly 4000 kWh of energy from the sun. By harnessing just 5% of this energy, the electricity generated would be sufficient for the current worldwide energy requirement [1].
Solar energy usage is currently growing at an exponential rate, and solar energy could be the world’s largest source of electricity by 2050. According to the technology roadmap of the International Energy Agency (IEA), solar PV systems could generate up to 16% of the world’s electricity together with solar thermal electricity from concentrating solar power (CSP) plants could provide another 11% by 2050 [2].
The potential for generating electricity from sunlight is enormous, and Keysight is enabling this potential with its range of measuring instruments for the installation and maintenance of solar PV systems.
