Abstract

The electrical system Photovoltaic (PV) modules are powered by solar arrays requires special design considerations due to varying nature of the solar power generated resulting from unpredictable and sudden changes in weather conditions which change the solar irradiation level as well as the cell operating temperature. This paper, a mathematical model of a PV cell used matlab-simulink environment, is developed and presented. The model is developed using basic circuit equations of the photovoltaic solar cells including the effects of solar irradiation and temperature changes. The main objective is to evaluate the output crystalline silicon PV voltage at different ambient temperatures.
