Potential Power Curve
Figure 4. Curve of the potential produced by a photovoltaic module in reference
to the working point.
In the above figure, it can be observed that there is a point for which the product (I x V) reaches its
maximum. This point, called the maximum power point, determines the expressed peak power using the
units (Wp).
The ability of the system to trace this point in relation to the variation of working conditions of the module is
called, "tracing of the point of maximum potential (MPPT)".
