Parameters influence on MPP value of the photo voltaic cell

Abstract

Solar energy is an important alternate to traditional energy sources to generate electrical power. Electrical power is extracted from solar energy via photovoltaic (PV) cell. However, PV cell maximum output power (MPP) depends on different parameters including weather conditions and internal components of the system. To achieve MPP, we used MatLab simulation to study the effect of the various parameters on PV performance. Results showed that MPP strongly depends on sun irradiance, shunt resistance, series resistance, temperature and ideal factor. These results might be used as a guide to PV system users.
