Design of photovoltaic solar cell model for stand-alone renewable system

In the future, more and more pressure will be given on renewable smart applications. One type of renewable energy is the solar energy. A photovoltaic solar cell or a module is often used in mobile applications as energy source. More and more applications are covered with solar cell or module as the energy source. A simple and accurate mathematical model that describes properties of the photovoltaic solar cell is required for present-day dynamic development. The paper deals with the proposal of a model of PV solar cell and module. Proposed model is verified by the simulation using Matlab. The influence of the temperature and the solar irradiation on photovoltaic module is investigated and compared to the I-V characteristics of photovoltaic solar module Sharp, that were used as a source of the photovoltaic cell parameters. Proposed model can be used in research as a part of a simulation of stand-alone power system.
