Modeling of Photovoltaic Cell Using Free Software Application for Training and Design Circuit in Photovoltaic Solar Energy

There are numerous studies that develop the mathematical modeling of photovoltaic cells and verified by software, for example [1] or [2]. The model presented is based on an equiva‐ lent circuit implemented in free software. Free software used is Quite Universal Circuit Sim‐ ulator (QUCS), [3]. QUCS uses a generic diode for adjust the current and voltage curve (IV curve) at photovoltaic cell. Additionally, you can use equations to define the model of pho‐ tovoltaic cell and represent the characteristic curves on the same page, [4]. QUCS is a multi‐ platform application that runs on Windows and Linux, this software is available in Linux distributions for electronics. [5].
