Modelling Photovoltaic Cells under Variable Conditions of Temperature and Solar Insolation Intensity

Solar radiation, as well as the temperature of photovoltaic cells, influences the production of electrical energy from photovoltaic systems. Therefore, this contribution focuses on examining how these two operating parameters affect the operation of photovoltaic cells. Through simulation, it is possible to draw conclusions about the impact of temperature and solar radiation on the operation of photovoltaic cells.The first simulation was aimed at studying the influence of temperature on the production of electrical energy. We chose the I-V characteristic as an indicator. The second simulation focused on the impact of solar radiation on the operation of the photovoltaic cell. Each parameter affects a different aspect of the photovoltaic cell. However, both parameters significantly influence the power output of the photovoltaic panel and, therefore, the production of electrical energy.
