Abstract

Solar irradiance is the amount of light energy that the sun emits and reaches the earth. The Pyranometer app is used to gather sample data. This predictive model calculated the electricity a solar module generates based on solar irradiance. It can calculate the voltage, current, and power a solar module can produce from solar irradiance. The study used a developmental-evaluative design using simulation modeling created using Matlab® and Simulink®. The evaluation of the model's accuracy was confirmed on a parallel run with an existing renewable solar energy facility to assess functionality, performance, robustness, workmanship, and the overall recommendation of the model. Findings revealed promising results that the designed model could, with reliable accuracy, simulate a solar module's performance from a given amount of irradiance.
