To prove it, an algorithm is proposed to check the accuracy of the proposed results; a simple tool, General Algebraic Modeling System is also proposed to extract the best values of parameters of a photovoltaic cell. 1. Introduction
The electrical performance of a photovoltaic (PV) silicon solar cell is described by its current–voltage (I–V) character-istic curve, which is in turn determined by device and material properties.
An sample algorithm is used to check the inaccuracies occurred in the parameters identification of the photovoltaic cell. General Algebraic Modeling System is used to extract the best values of parameters of a PV cell and PV module. Tools are applied to check and extract parameters from single and double diode model.
To evaluate the performance of a photovoltaic panel, several parameters must be extracted from the photovoltaic. Among the methods developed to extract photovoltaic parameters from current-voltage (I-V) characteristic curve, metaheuristic algorithms are the most used nowadays.
