Abstract

Due to the human needs of energy, there is a need to apply new technologies in energy conversion to supply the demand of clean and cheap energy in the context of environmental issues. Renewable energy sources like solar energy has one of the highest potentials. In this paper, solar panel is the key part of a photovoltaic system which converts solar energy to electrical energy. The purpose of this paper is to give a MATLAB/ Simulink simulation for photovoltaic module based on the one-diode model of a photovoltaic cell made of polycrystalline silicon. This model reveals the effect of the ambient temperature and the heating of the panel due to the solar infrared radiation. Also the measurements on the solar cell exposed to solar radiation can confirm the simulation.
