A combined experiïnental and simulation study on the effects of irradiance and terflperatlire on pTiotovoltaic rnodules.

Abstract

Solar cell is one of the crucial components in photovoltaic systems. Silicon soiar moduies are r,videly usecl in the Fl"rotovoltaic (FV) indirstry. t1-," silicàn PV electrical performance is clescribed by its clu'rentvoltage (i-V) chaiacieriétic, w]-,ich is as funciion of the tlevice used anci maierial propeities. This stucl;r prorù.r' a éomparison bei-ween a simpliûed PV-cell and module model and its parameierization' gr-raranteeing that the I-V characieristic crii'ves fit vritir ihe rypical pcinTs gi'ren by manitfaciul':i!' àatasheets àd exper-iraentai data.
