Abstract


The model of the PV cell transforms the solar energy into electrical and provides the characteristic curves for given radiation and temperature as an input parameter. To get a quick estimate of the solar energy yield of a PV system, a computer program is required. In this study, the PV Mathematical equations along with electrical parameters obtained from the datasheet of Prime Solar photovoltaic Module type PS-P310-36 was modelled using MATLAB software program. In the modelled program, different irradiance (200 W/m2 to 1000 W/m2) at a constant temperature of 25oC and different temperature (25oC to 45oC ) at constant irradiance of 1000 W/m2under Standard Testing Conditions (STC) were used to obtain I-V, P-V and P-I characteristic curves. The module has optimal values of 340 watts for solar radiation of 1000 W/m2. Also, the optimal power was obtained at a temperature of 25oC. The modelled results agreed with the characteristics values of the PV module of previous similar PV studies. This program can be used to predict the behaviour of the photovoltaic cells under distinct physical and environmental conditions.
