Abstract

Abstract: Solar cell is one of the crucial components in photovoltaic systems. Silicon solar modules are widely used in the Photovoltaic (PV) industry. The silicon PV electrical performance is described by its current–voltage (I–V) characteristic, which is as function of the device used and material properties. This study provides a comparison between a simplified PV-cell and module model and its parameterization, guaranteeing that the I–V characteristic curves fit with the typical points given by manufacturers' datasheets and experimental data. The PV performance study is carried out as function of the junction temperature and insolation. This contribution gives an overview over PV module defects and degradation.
