- This paper is an extended version of our paper published in TAEE2024, Málaga, under the title Trazador didáctico de curvas I-V de módulos fotovoltaicos basado en un convertidor DC/DC comercial.
The authors revised the Keywords, which should be updated as follows:
Keywords: I-V curve tracer; photovoltaic energy; solar energy harvesting; DC-DC converter; educational practical sessions; electric characterization
A correction has been made to the Acknowledgments section. It should be updated as follows:
Acknowledgments: The co-authors would like to thank the committee of the XVI International Conference of Technology, Learning, and Teaching of Electronics (TAEE2024) for awarding our extended proceedings the distinction of publishing in the journal Electronics.
- Missing Citation and Reference
In Section 5 Conclusions of the original publication [1], reference 30 was not cited, and the third paragraph was missing.
The following reference is numbered as reference 30 and has been added to the list of references.

The corrections have been made to Section 5 Conclusions, and this section should be updated as follows.
A preliminary version of this work was published in Spanish in [30]. The present work is an extended version with the following improvements: a deeper review of the state of art is made; all devices have been integrated onto a PCB board instead of a breadboard; additional functionalities have been incorporated, such as battery voltage measurement (acting as the load), as well as a discharge circuit with corresponding new schematics; measurements were compared with those obtained from a high-performance commercial tracer, using it as a reference to assess the measurement error; the sensor has been calibrated for both voltage and current magnitudes; new experiments have been performed where ripple was observed, with explanations provided for this phenomenon.
The authors state that the remaining scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
