Solar cells work on the photovoltaic effect. This happens when sunlight photons hit materials like silicon inside the cell. This excites electrons, creating a flow of electric current as they move.
Accuracy of the mathematical model of photovoltaic cell, and hence the analysis can be improved by including into the model, series and shunt resistance, temperature dependence of photo current, and the dependence of diode saturation current.
Several methods have been developed to predict the solar PV array output power. An estimation method used in Ref. proposes that the power output of a PV system is proportional to the insolation levels measured for the surface of a solar cell at any angular position.
The power output decreases almost linearly with incident solar energy, but the efficiency is nearly flat over the region of concern. The power output of solar cells depends on the absolute value and special distribution of irradiance in the plane of solar cell and cell's temperature.
A basic photovoltaic system integrated with utility grid is shown in Fig. 2. The PV array converts the solar energy to dc power, which is directly dependent on insolation. Blocking diode facilitates the array generated power to flow only towards the power conditioner.
Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaic (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP). The research has been underway since very beginning for the development of an affordable, in-exhaustive and clean solar energy technology for longer term benefits.
