Abstract

Most recently, photovoltaic energy has made an incredible technological advancement for the forthcoming decades towards mitigating the ever-increasing energy demand worldwide through generating electric power. Present paper proposes a novel solar photovoltaic (SPV) device model that achieves optimal power efficiency from simulation and graphical performance analysis of SPV device characteristics. First of all, power as well as current performances is compared for varying irradiance and temperatures circumstances. Then, output current characteristics of the SPV device for the proposed as well as existing model with variable temperatures is plotted. Later, power versus voltage performances of a SPV device for the proposed model with varying irradiance and temperature criterions is compared. Finally, power–voltage characteristics are plotted graphically for the existing as well as proposed SPV device model that achieves significant amount of output power for the proposed model than the existing model and optimal power efficiency is obtained for the novel SPV device model.
