MATLAB-graphical user interface (GUI) to study PV module characteristics

Solar radiation and temperature have direct effect on the characteristics of Solar photovoltaic (PV) modules. This paper presents a MATLAB - Graphical User Interface (GUI) for studying the PV module characteristics, i.e., (I, V) and (P, V) under different values of radiation and temperature. In addition, the GUI can provide solar PV module information including maximum power, voltage and current at maximum power point, efficiency, fill factor (FF) of the PV module, when parameters such as, module temperature, solar radiation, short circuit current, open circuit voltage, and module area are provided.
