Modeling, simulation and comparison of the photovoltaic productivity by using the MATLAB/PVsystem

This work is intended for comparative study the electricity production of a photovoltaic installation by using the monocrystalline silicon technology. The article is done in the frame of the Laboratory of Nanosciences and Modeling activities, for constructing a local productivity map of photovoltaic technologies by integration the theoretical calculation method and using the Pvsystem software. Our work is divided in two parts; the first is devoted to, calculating through MATLAB simulation the solar radiation at the site under study by using the hotel's method. And evaluate the final productivity of our mini-PV installation. In the second part we use the PVsystem software for prediction of a PV installation performance. Then we compare the results obtained by two methods of calculation; theoretical calculation method and by using the Pvsystem software.
