Title: Performance of Foldable Photovoltaic Panels in Real Conditions
Keywords: experimental study, foldable photovoltaic panels, I-V characteristics, portable power station

Abstract: This study research power supply systems for low-power consumers, incorporating foldable photovoltaic panels (PV) and portable power stations with low-power capacity. This innovative technology offers an efficient solution for powering devices that lack access to the electrical grid. The study presents the current-voltage characteristics of foldable PV panels under real operating conditions. Measurements have been conducted in conditions closely approximating standard test parameters, and the impact of shading on their electrical performance has been also examined.
