Abstract
The process of a PV cell behavior’s simulation and characterization is based on its equivalence with an electric circuit and its subsequent mathematical representation. The most important characteristic of a solar cell for its electrical simulation is the dependence of the current that flows through it in function of the applied voltage. For this, constant values of incident radiation intensity and temperature are maintained.
