Abstract :
This paper presents a simplified mathematical model to estimate the energy produced by photovoltaic systems considering irradiance over the module surface, module temperature, and the wind speed of photovoltaic modules. This analysis is compared with the more usual analysis of energy production of a photovoltaic system using the monthly average irradiation data. Simulation results are presented to compare and validate the proposed analysis.
