Scientists create setup to measure wave-induced power losses in floating PV

Researchers have measured the power loss of a 50 W panel stationed in a 30-meter wave tank. Based on ten different scenarios, they were able to draw an empirical equation for the prediction of power loss, with the highest loss being measured at 12. 7%. Scientists from the United Kingdom and Australia have built an experimental setup to measure solar power loss due to wave motion in deployments of floating PV (FPV) panels. Based on their results, they were also able to derive an empirical equation that shows the power loss is predictable through the rotational amplitude. "Solar panels undergo periodic ...
