This paper describes the design of an original twin capacitive load that is able of tracing simultaneously the I–V characteristics of two photovoltaic modules. Besides, an example of the application of this dual system to the outdoor rating of photovoltaic modules is presented, whose results have shown a good degree of repeatability.
