A proposed photovoltaic module and array mathematical modeling destined to simulation

Photovoltaic applications are increasing rapidly, thus, an accurate photovoltaic module modeling is requested in order to allow photovoltaic plants simulations. This paper presents a mathematical modeling to describe numerically photovoltaic modules and arrays, taking into account the radiation and temperature effects on output voltage, current and power. A comparison between simulation and experimental results are presented, considering the Kyocera KC200GT module data-sheet information.
