Abstract
A detailed model of a photovoltaic array written in PSPICE is presente d in this paper. The powerful graphics post-processor that accompanies the software program is used to display array characteristics as a fu nction of certain parameters such as insulation and temperature. Advan tages include model capability to incorporate data taken from any comm ercially available solar panel. This is demonstrated in detail through a simple example.
