Abstract
As part of the energy conservation/self-sufficiency efforts of DSN Engineering, it was necessary to have a simplified computer model of a solar photovoltaic (PV) system. This article describes the analysis and simplifications employed in the development of a PV cell array computer model. The analysis of the incident solar radiation, steady-state cell temperature, and the current-voltage characteristics of a cell array are discussed. A sample cell array was modelled and the results are presented.
