Abstract :
In this paper, a novel circuit model of photovoltaic (PV) cells is presented, which exploits the thermal equivalent of the Ohm´s law and the macromodeling technique to describe the temperature dependence of all key parameters and allow a specific temperature for each cell. The model is compatible with commercial SPICE-like simulation tools, and suitable to be employed for dynamic electrothermal (ET) simulations of PV panels either exposed to sunlight or under partial shading conditions.
