Abstract :
A mathematical model of a solar module is presented. This model takes into account solar model temperature and solar radiation. The experimental data of a solar module under natural environment condition (NEC) have been obtained to determine the model parameters. The experimental results are compared with those calculated by using a mathematical model. It shows that the mathematical model accurately simulates the current-voltage characteristics of the solar module under the NEC and therefore is suitable for photovoltaic system design and performance analysis.
