Abstract

This paper focuses on single-diode photovoltaic cell models. Comprehensive simulation studies are carried out in order to adequately assess temperature dependence, solar radiation change, diode ideality factor and series resistance influence. A comparison between an ideal model single-diode solar cell and a model of single-diode solar cell with a series resistance is also presented. Finally, conclusions are duly drawn.
