The present invention relates to a measurement method to determine the magnitude and intensity of solar radiation/ collected by a photovoltaic solar panel, without the need of using specific sensors for this purpose- With the present method^ the power conditioning systems used in small photovoltaic panels to charge small rechargeable batteries, will now be able to provide an electrical signal,, in the form of a pulse sequence or in any other electrical signal, that represents the value of the quantity that generates the available energy. The present method enables the monitoring the energy transfer between the solar panel and a rechargeable battery using a switched, voltage converter; additionally it indicates the magnitude of the solar radiation falling on the solar panel. It is based on the adaptation of a direct voltage to direct voltage boost converter circuit in. order to provide an electrical signal which is correlated to the magnitude of the solar irradiance falling on the solar panel, which in turn powers the voltage converter circuit. The invention also relates to a device for implementing this method.

L'invention concerne un procédé de mesure pour déterminer l'amplitude et l'intensité du rayonnement solaire recueilli par un panneau solaire photovoltaïque, sans pour cela avoir besoin d'utiliser des détecteurs spécifiques. Grâce à ce procédé, les systèmes de conditionnement de puissance utilisés dans les petits panneaux photovoltaïques pour charger de petites batteries rechargeables, pourront désormais produire un signal électrique, sous la forme d'une séquence d'impulsions ou sous n'importe quel autre signal électrique, qui représente la valeur de la quantité qui génère l'énergie disponible. Ce procédé permet de surveiller le transfert d'énergie entre le panneau solaire et une batterie rechargeable utilisant un convertisseur de tension commuté; en outre, il permet d'indiquer l'amplitude du rayonnement solaire tombant sur le panneau solaire. Le procédé s'appuie sur l'adaptation d'une tension directe pour diriger un circuit de convertisseur élévateur de tension afin de produire un signal électrique corrélé à l'amplitude du rayonnement solaire tombant sur le panneau solaire, lequel, à son tour, alimente le circuit du convertisseur de tension. L'invention concerne enfin un dispositif permettant de mettre en application ce procédé.
