“…The electrical model presented in this paper is based on the junction described by a single exponential in order to simulate the I-V characteristics of the PV module (Liu and Dougal, 2002;Xiao et al, 2004;Villalva et al, 2009;Ayedh et al, 2012;Andrei et al, 2013;Bellia et al, 2014). The one-diode model of a solar cell consists of five parameters: a current source representing the photogenerated current I ph , a diode with two parameters (ÀI 0 and m), and two resistances (series R ser and parallel R sh ), as depicted in Fig.…”
