SolTrack is a simple, free, fast and accurate C/C++ routine to compute the position of the Sun. The code can be used to track the Sun on low-specs machine, such as a PLC or a microcontroller, and can be used for e.g. (highly) concentrated (photovoltaic) solar power. SolTrack has been developed by Marc van der Sluys, Paul van Kan and Jurgen Reintjes, of the Lectorate of Sustainable Energy at the HAN University of Applied Sciences in Arnhem, The Netherlands. The code is based on the astronomical...

This is a game with test questions and you get a score. It is made with Arduino. The questions will be about each of the STEAM areas and a list will show the students who obtained the most points. In principle, the entire system must be powered by a photovoltaic panel and a battery. But it can be connected to a microusb charger. A motion sensor will allow the system to wake up. It will have touch sensors and LCD screens. It will also have a led array and a speaker to animate the game a bit.

The power produced by a PV array depends on characteristics of the PV modules used and the instantaneous climatologically conditions. For most field testing, the measurable quantities are irradiance and temperature. Power is an instantaneous value; the PV array produces so many Watts (or kilowatts) of power at a specific time depending on existing conditions. Power output will change continuously throughout the day. Energy includes a time factor and is measured in Watt-hours or...

This program analyzes the possible ways of combining a set Photovoltaic Panels into a set of Pv strings and attempts to identify the optimal configuration, leading to the maximum achievable power output.

Models the technical and financial details of a photovoltaic farm. The user specifies the parameters of the site which then calculates the expected output energy at the grid entry point (GEP). A site and grid entry point can be selected using GPS coordinates which assist in calculating the insolation from the sun using PySolar. System components such as panels, DC and AC cables, inverter, transformer and transmission lines can be specified using the graphical user interface, which...

Server-client open-source windows software for the Ginlong photovoltaic inverter. The server runs on a PC connected to the inverter and continuously polls the inverter for electrical data. The clients can be web browsers, sidebar windows gadget or windows 8 tile. An excel based client app is currently included.

Aurora Monitor is a graphical application which continuously monitors the power output and other information from Power-One Aurora inverters in a domestic photovoltaic power generation system.

This software consists of two parts: First the logger to write the data of photovoltaic inverters made by Sputnik, especially SolarMax S Series, into a MySQL database. And second PHP webpages to visualize the logged data into an internet browser.

Pysolar is a Python library for calculating the position of the sun relative to the earth as a function of latitude, longitude, and time. There is also code included for other problems related to the development of photovoltaic systems. Still in alpha.

Tool to capture data from photovoltaic solar collectors. Currently works for Outback Mate. May be expanded for Xantrex or other inverters/charge controllers.
