Photovoltaic (PV) cells are converters that produce dc
(direct current) power by absorbing photons from the sun.
However, the amount of generated power may vary
depending on the production technology of the PV panel
and the atmospheric conditions where the panels are
installed. A small power generation difference due to an
improperly selected PV technology can reach serious rates
on a weekly, monthly and annual basis. For this reason, it
is important to make PV panel power measurements
before installation on location basis. In this study, a total of
8 PV panels in 4 different technologies, each in pairs,
(Monocrystalline, PolyCrystalline, Copper Indium SelenideCIS and Cadmium Telluride-CdTe), were measured in
January 2020, with a circuit board where MOSFET is used
as an electronic load. In this study, it is observed that
Monocrystalline PV panels are generated the highest
power value, according to the selected seven-day. In
addition, it is determined that PolyKristalline PV panels
reach the second highest power value. The third highest
power is generated by CIS PV panels also it is observed
that the lowest power is generated by CdTe FV panels.
