These parameters depend on solar radiation and PV cell temperature. At
a specific temperature and solar radiation level, the current-voltage (
I
-
V
)
characteristics of a PV module, approximated by the one-diode model
(
Figure 2.14
)
, is given by
Fig. 2.14
Equivalent circuit for the one-diode model
The power is calculated as the product of the current,
I
and voltage,
V
:
To obtain the PV module maximum power point, the following equations
must be solved:
Equation (2.27)
is obtained by differentiating
Eq. (2.26)
with respect to
V
and setting the result equal to zero, and
Eq. (2.28)
is obtained by
substituting
I
and
V
by their respective value at maximum point (
I
