ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

With great pleasure we want to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the people who have helped us in making this project work a grand success.

First of all, we would like to thank God for giving me courage and strength to finish this work. Also, we would like to thank Mr P.P. Deshpande, Project Guide, GENESIS, HYDERABAD for his continued guidance and support during the course of this thesis along with our Internal Guide,., for his/her constant guidance throughout our project work. Without his/her guidance this work would not have been possible. We would really like to thank her for his/her patience and time to guide us at every step of this work.

We would also like to thank our HOD, name, ECE department, for his/her guidance and support.We have no words to describe the support offered to us by our lecturers and other faculty.

AbstractNowadays solar energy harnessing is the need of the hour because of the shortage of non conventional power. However the efficiency of solar PV modules is still quite low, and it is necessary to have a testing system to be able to find out the light and dark curves so that the performance of solar modules can be evaluated. This project involves construction of such a testing of solar PV module.The system uses a microcontroller which is programmed to increase the load current in step, starting from zero to full sort circuit rating of solar panel. The current and voltage values are measured for each step value of the load, and power output is computed. When the whole range is scanned, the data is sent serially to the PC and IV curves are plotted and evaluated
