A simple model for characterizing the behavior of photovoltaic modules

In this paper, a simple procedure is presented, aimed at improving the accuracy of an iterative model describing the behavior of a photovoltaic cell array. The proposed approach is simple, and may profitably be used in Maximum Power Point tracking systems, keeping track of irradiation and temperature changes.
