Under what conditions are solar panels’ power ratings measured?
Question by bnet3490: Under what conditions are solar panels’ power ratings measured?
I’m working on a school project and the panel we’re using has a max power rating of 100 watts. There are ASTM standards for obtaining this value, but I cannot access them anywhere without shelling out close to $ 50 (ASTM E772 is the article). I’m wondering if anyone knows the conditions under which this rating is obtained, so that I can model my data accordingly.
Oh, and references would be highly appreciated if you have any. Thanks in advance.

The output resistance of your panel must be match input of your load,mean if soler Vmax is 18 volt then your converter input around about 17 volt and the power of converter must be 100 watt,you can use also more ranges converter like 130 200.the power of the converter must be equaled to panel or more then the panel.
