ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THIN FILM SOLAR PANELS ON A RIVER BOAT UNDER DIFFERENT MICROCLIMATIC CONDITIONS

摘要

In this paper are measured the changes in electrical output characteristics ofthin film solar panels as a function of external microclimate parameters. Possibleapplication of thin film solar panels in the production of electricity on a small river boatwas analyzed. Based on the results the efficiency of thin film solar panels was determined.Also, cost benefit analysis of their use on the river boat was performed as independentand additional sources of electricity to the existing system which is based on the shipdiesel engine alternator.
