Abstract

This article discusses the development of software designed to analyze photovoltaic modules and generate curves representing the relationship between voltage and current, as well as between power and voltage. This program is designed to offer a customized and user-friendly interface and will be made available for free. The results obtained from the conducted tests confirm that the software effectively fulfills its functions, allowing for a detailed analysis of the collected data. The primary goal of implementing this software is to contribute to the advancement of renewable energy research, thereby promoting sustainable utilization of solar energy.
