Abstract
This research scrutinizes the dynamic interplay of temperature and irradiance on the power output of
a singular solar panel, employing a simulation model within the MATLAB Simulink framework. The
simulation spans a spectrum of climatic conditions, simulating temperatures at +25˚ C, +35˚ C,
+45˚ C, and +55˚ C degrees, and irradiance levels ranging from 1000 to 100 W/m2. The study yields
comprehensive I-V (current-voltage) and P-V (power-voltage) characteristics according to [1, 2],
providing nuanced insights into the performance of the solar panel under diverse environmental
scenarios. The results not only underscore the impact of temperature [3] and irradiance variations but
also contribute essential data for the practical design and implementation of solar energy systems,
especially in regions prone to extreme weather conditions.
Keywords: solar panel, irradiance, temperature, power output, MATLAB Simulink, STC.
Introduction: The contemporary global energy paradigm is confronted with escalating challenges,
necessitating a paradigm shift towards sustainable alternatives. Amidst these challenges, solar
photovoltaic (PV) systems offer a promising solution, standing as a beacon for renewable energy. At
the forefront of solar energy technology are solar panels, and comprehending their intricacies is
crucial for unlocking their full potential. The simulation model employed in this research is anchored
in the BYD (Huizhou) Battery BYD 210P6-30, a solar panel esteemed for its efficiency and
widespread application [1]. In the depicted figure below, the simulation model is visually represented.

Temperature and Irradiance as Influencing Factors: Temperature emerges as a pivotal factor
influencing the efficiency of PV modules, with dynamic variations impacting the open circuit voltage
(VOC) and, subsequently, the power output. Understanding and incorporating temperature coefficients
into system design becomes imperative, aligning projected cell temperatures with data derived under
Standard Test Conditions (STC) for precise module output predictions [1].
The general model of PV cell shown in Fig. 1, called as Equivalent circuit which includes
photocurrent source, diode, parallel resistor expressing the leakage current and series resistor
describing the internal resistance to the current flow. The I-V characteristic equation of a PV cell is
written as,
𝑞(𝑉+𝐼𝑅𝑠 ) (𝑉+𝐼𝑅𝑠 )
𝐼 = 𝐼𝑝ℎ − 𝐼𝑠 (𝑒𝑥𝑝 [ ] − 1) − [2].
𝑘𝑇𝐴 𝑅𝑠ℎ

Simultaneously, solar irradiance, a fundamental determinant of module performance, directly


influences current generation and, consequently, overall power output. Variations in solar irradiance,
whether due to atmospheric conditions or temporal factors, lead to proportional adjustments in current
and power. Comprehensive consideration of these dynamic interactions between temperature and
solar irradiance is paramount for robust predictions and meaningful real-world applications.
Research Objective: The primary aim of this research extends beyond academic inquiry; it is a
strategic exploration into the intricate dynamics between solar panel performance and the varying
scenarios of irradiance and temperature. Utilizing the sophisticated simulation capabilities of
MATLAB Simulink, the study seeks to unveil specific behaviors exhibited by the BYD 210P6-30
model under diverse environmental conditions.

In this pursuit, the research rigorously evaluates the impact of irradiance throughout the year. The
variability between sunny and cloudy days introduces distinct challenges, and understanding how the
solar panel adapts to these fluctuations is vital for practical applications. The provided figures below
illustrate the I-V and P-V characteristics of the solar panel under varying solar irradiances [2, 3].

Moreover, the investigation delves into the influence of temperature, recognizing the extreme
conditions faced by certain regions of Uzbekistan. With summer temperatures soaring up to +45˚ C
– +55˚ C degrees in specific areas as investigated in [4], the research addresses the crucial need to
assess power harvesting under such extreme climatic conditions. This consideration is not merely
academic but pivotal for implementing solar power generation problem solutions resilient to the
diverse weather patterns of the region. The provided figures below illustrate the I-V and P-V
characteristics of the solar panel in various temperatures.

Conclusion: In summary, our research dives deep into understanding how a solar panel's power
output responds to temperature and irradiance variations. Through meticulous MATLAB Simulink
simulations, we observed the pronounced impact of temperature on open circuit voltage and overall
power output. Solar irradiance fluctuations also demonstrated a proportional effect on current and
power. These insights, especially relevant in Uzbekistan's climatic context, offer valuable data for
designing resilient solar solutions. Our findings contribute to both theoretical understanding and
practical applications, shaping informed decisions in solar energy system design and optimization for
regions with diverse weather patterns.
