Abstract
This work has as objective to carry out the construction of a simple and efficient I–V curve tracer, which measure voltage and current simultaneously from a photovoltaic device to obtain the operational characteristic curve of it. The I–V curve tracer is based in capacitive load, for this we use a RC circuit, previously designed. Hence, the construction process of the device is easy assembly and less expensive than the commercial devices. It was proved, that the curve tracer device ready and in full operation can provide a simple, reliable, quickly and accurately data collection of a characteristic curve, since the greatest error of the experimental results was 7.37% while the lowest error was only 0.13%.
