This paper proposes a simple behavioural model for photovoltaic modules. This model can be used to characterise current–voltage and power–voltage outputs of photovoltaic modules as a function of solar module temperature and solar radiation intensity. Such a model cannot only serve as a tool...

This article presents the results obtained from the analysis of the I–V electrical characteristics of photovoltaic arrays that were tested in a region of the Sahara. Experiments were carried out at Adrar in the southern part of Algeria. The study includes the determination of the most...
