Photovoltaic module

We simulate a photovoltaic module for which we can change the temperature and the illumination (irradiance).

It is possible, by clicking on the switches:

• either leave it open-circuited;
• or connect it to a resistor whose value can be modified;
• or connect it to a battery. The electromotive force (emf) and the internal resistance (Rint) can be adjusted.

On the right, the I=f(V) characteristic of the module is plotted in red. The load characteristic is displayed in green, and the operating point is in blue. The curve that gives power versus voltage is given below.
