Modelling of Photovoltaic Module

This paper proposes a review of the main characteristics and parameters that have to considered modelling a photovoltaic module. For the study it will be left from the photovoltaic cell, fundamental element of the conversion of light to electrical current. Also, a photovoltaic model using Matlab, which can be representative of PV cell and module, is presented. The created model has been based on previous studies. With the information of those previous models, curves IV and PV have been calculated comparing the results to each other. Also, the MPP of all the models has been calculated. Finally, the model has been validated with experimental data of a commercial PV module, Mitsubishi PV-TD1185MF5.
