Abstract
This chapter is composed of two parts: the first part provides a short introduction to solar radiation, which play a very important role for solar energy systems, including photovoltaic systems. The main equations and models used for modeling and simulation of solar radiation components are presented in this section. Some examples of these applications are provided using Python and Matlab® languages. The second part of this chapter covers a brief introduction to photovoltaics, including solar cell conversion, photovoltaic technologies, latest solar cells efficiency, photovoltaic configuration, and type of photovoltaic systems (e.g., stand-alone, grid-connected, and hybrid photovoltaic systems). A total of 16 examples for modeling and simulation of photovoltaic systems, from solar cell to photovoltaic systems, using Matlab/Simulink and Python language are also presented.
