Analysis of Datasheet of Photovoltaic Modules and Calculation of Its Parameters

Abstract

The adoption of photovoltaic (PV) technology for electricity generation is gaining momentum worldwide, primarily due to its capability to mitigate carbon emissions. In India, the central cabinet has approved a scheme aimed at installing rooftop solar panels, further propelling the popularity of PV systems. Understanding the intricacies of photovoltaic modules and their associated parameters is crucial for gaining insights into their IV characteristics and making informed decisions when selecting PV panels. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of photovoltaic modules ranging from 210 Watts to 240 Watts, elucidating the calculation of cell efficiency and demonstrating mathematical analyses illustrating how temperature influences the characteristics of PV cells. Utilizing Matlab/Simulink, PV panel behavior is observed, providing valuable insights into real-world performance. Through practical parameter calculations and empirical results, the significance of these analyses in the context of PV panel selection is underscored, highlighting their importance for informed decision-making in renewable energy deployment.
