Abstract
This paper reports on an improved diode approximation-based model for PVs which is tested on three different organic PV (OPV) modules: AgGrid, AgNW and Carbon OPV. The model can emulate the electrical characteristics of the three cells accurately, facilitating the deployment in system models. Analytical I-V and P-V curves obtained with the model are compared with outdoor test data and demonstrate high correlation.
