Abstract
A simple and accurate technique to compute essential parameters needed for electrical characterization of
photovoltaic (PV) modules is proposed. A single-diode model of PV modules, including those with series and shunt
resistances, is considered accurate and simple. However, PV module datasheets provided by manufacturers provide
current{voltage (I -V ) characteristics as well as the values of selected parameters at standard test conditions (STC).
