The demand increase for the energy and the world’s challenge to decrease the consummation
of fossil fuels has oriented many research works toward the development and investigation in
the renewable energy sources (RES) like solar energy. In fact, an adequate parametrisation of
the performance of photovoltaic (PV) modules starts by their characterisation. In this study
we focus on measuring the current-voltage (I-V) and power-voltage (P-V) curves for two
types of PV modules – Monocrystalline and Amorphous that were tested under different
temperature. A developed low-cost acquisition device based on Arduino board is used to
monitor and trace those data. The performance and the quality of this later is analysed in term
of solar panel characteristics and show that the developed acquisition device is especially
suitable for amorphous (PV) modules.
