Abstract

This paper presents a behavioral modeling of a solar cell to improve the simulation results of PSPICE. Considering irradiance and ambient temperature as two inputs and using the parameters provided by the manufacturers this model will enable us to study the precise output of the cell. Also this model will help us to evaluate the short circuit current, open circuit voltage, cell operation temperature, maximum power point current, maximum power point voltage and the power at maximum power point. Furthermore, an example to use this model and some suggestions will be available to utilize this model in case of solar cell arrays analysis.
