Abstract
The solar energy plays an important role in the accomplishment of the renewable energy goals of the world. The modeling and simulation are a vital part of the analysis of the PV system before its installation. It provides the understanding of the behavior of the system under the actual working condition in priori. In this paper, a simulation of the solar PV module using the MATLAB is presented. The mathematical expressions based on the theory of semiconductor are used. The simplified solar PV cell equivalent circuit is used for the analysis. The expression obtained for the ideal cell is modified to take into account the shunt and the series resistances due to the surface effect and the presence of various connections. The objective is to obtain the I–V and the P–V characteristics of the solar PV cell to estimate its performance under the various operating conditions. The simulation is conducted for the three most important parameters, namely operating temperatures, intensity of irradiance and the shunt resistance, and the results are analyzed.
