Analytical Modeling of Current-Voltage Photovoltaic Performance: An Easy Approach to Solar Panel Behavior

Jose Miguel Alvarez et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a simple analytical methodology for modeling the behavior of photovoltaic cells/panels using a one-diode/two-resistor equivalent circuit, with an ideal factor value of a=1 shown to be reasonable for various photovoltaic technologies. The analytical equations in this model are simplified using mathematical expressions defined for the Lambert W-function, based on a large dataset related to solar cells and panels obtained from academic literature. These simplified approaches have been successfully used to extract parameters from explicit methods for analyzing the behavior of solar cells/panels, with accuracy demonstrated in a case study fitting models to the behavior of two solar panels from the UPMSat-1 satellite.
