Comparative Analysis of Two Methods of Modeling a Mono-Crystalline Silicon PV Module

The main purpose of this work is to analyze the comparison between the current voltage characteristic modeling of a mono-crystalline photovoltaic panel using classical and Design of Experiments methods. These methods based on mathematical models have been solved using numerical method, therefore, the main difference between them is in the process of the response output calculation that the classical one need several input parameters, which is obtain analytically. By cons, the design of experiments method is a fast tool to calculate the response, it consider only input and output parameters, discuss the obtained models and the associated calculation methods that we have evaluated via Matlab and Minitab development soft wares. In this contribution, we present the important steps to model the studied system, and we consider experiments concept allows finding the best possible model that both represents the experimental data and enables accurate predictions of the responses according to input variation factors in a strict definite study domain.
