Abstract :
Different types of photovoltaic (PV) cell technologies have been commercially used for various applications. These cell technologies can be categorized as multi-crystalline, mono-crystalline and thin film. Due to the differences in PV cell technologies, a single PV model is unable to model all the output characteristics. The single and double diode PV models have been widely used for modeling the output characteristic of a PV module. This paper introduces a generalized multi-dimension diode PV model which can be used to select the most suitable dimension for a particular PV cell technology. The results confirm that the single diode PV model is suitable for the multi-crystalline and mono-crystalline PV modules. For the thin film PV module, a multi-dimension diode PV model is required to achieve a low modeling error.
