A Review on Photovoltaic Module and its Various Simulation Methods

The solar panel is a highly non-linear source and to select a right operating  point on the I-V characteristics based on measured load current and voltage  is very crucial in order to obtain maximum output. Several PV Simulation techniques for obtaining right operating point on the I-V characteristics of PV cell are available. In this paper mathematical model of a single diode PV module with different techniques for  PV Simulation are briefly presented and compared.
