Abstract: This paper presents the effect of change of temperature, solar irradiance, series resistance and shunt resistance on Photovoltaic (PV) cell. To observe these phenomena models of PV system are constructed using LTspice IV. The main aim of the work is to observe the output power for different environmental condition. The changes of these parameters have significant effect on the I-V and P-V characteristics curve of PV cell. Simulations are performed to exhibit these effects.

Keywords: temperature, irradiance, series-resistance, shunt-resistance, PV cell
