Abstract (EN): This paper focuses on the modelling and simulation for a photovoltaic system formed by monocrystalline solar modules. The objective is to find the parameters of the nonlinear I-V equation by adjusting the curve at three points: open circuit, maximum power, and short circuit. This paper brings a novel iterative procedure to find the value of diode ideality factor, series and equivalent shunt resistances. Simulation studies are carried out in order to uncover temperature dependence, solar radiation change, and output power variation. Finally, conclusions are duly drawn.
