Abstract (en)

The present invention concerns an apparatus for obtaining information enabling the determination of a characteristic like the maximum power point of a power source, the apparatus for obtaining information enabling the determination of the characteristic of the power source comprises means for monitoring the voltage on a capacitor of an energy conversion device, the capacitor being placed between the terminals of the power source and means for monitoring the current provided by the power source, characterised in that the means for monitoring the voltage monitor the voltage during the discharge of the capacitor through the energy conversion device and the means for monitoring the current provided by the power source monitor the current provided by the power source during the discharge of the capacitor through the energy conversion device.
