1. INTRODUCTION 
 
The identification of the five photovoltaic panel or 
solar cell parameters using experimental data or using 
only datasheet values and the single diode model have 
been widely investigated and discussed by many re-
searchers [1-18].  
In recent years, three approaches for estimation of 
the different parameters have been discussed: analyti-
cal, iterative and numerical approaches. Javier Cubas 
[10] has developed an analytical method based on a 
reduced amount of information, consisting in the nor-
mal manufacturer data and formulating a four coupled 
equations to determine series resistance Rs, shunt 
resistance Rp, saturation current Is and photo current 
Iph,. Villalva and all [11] have proposed an iterative 
method to obtain the five parameters, the aim of this 
method is to find the value of Rs (and hence Rp) that 
adjust the peak of the theoretical power-voltage curve 
and the experimental peak power at the maximum 
point extracted from datasheet. For the both previously 
methods, the ideality factor are supposed equal to 1.3 
for crystalline technology. Jung-Young Park and al. 
[15] have presented effective parameters extraction 
based on pattern search algorithm in order to enhance 
the model accuracy for the maximum power region, the 
objective function used in this work is based only on 
the MPP conditions, the solution in this technique is 
very sensitive to the choice of the initial guesses. 
In this work, we propose an analytical method to es-
timate the five parameters of PV module using the 
single diode model and the datasheet information. 
 
2. MATHEMATICAL MODELING AND THE  
EXTRACTION METHOD 
 
2.1 The Single Diode Model 
 
The photovoltaic module can be described by an 
equivalent circuit model based on single ideal diode, a 
constant photo-generated current source Iph, a series 
parasitic resistance (Rs), and a parallel parasitic re-
sistance (Rp).

where I0 is the saturation current, Iph is Ns is the num-

can give an explicit solution I  f(V) based on Lambert

2.2 Extraction Method 
 
The aim of this method is the find the five PV mod-

ule parameters: Iph, I0, n, Rs and Rp using only the 
datasheet information without any experimental data. 
The PV modules datasheets give the following infor-
mation under standard test conditions (STC):  
– The nominal open-circuit voltage Vocn;  
– The nominal short-circuit current Iscn; 
– The voltage at the maximum power point Vmp; 
– The current at the maximum power point Imp; 
– The open-circuit voltage/temperature coefficient KV; 
– The short-circuit current/temperature coefficient KI; 
Exploiting these six datasheet information, we will     
define a five analytical equations to extract the five 
module parameters without any approximation.   
 
2.2.1 Ideality Factor n 
 
According to [17], the ideality factor n for the PV 
module can be expressed using the different remarka-
ble points at STC by the following expression:

where Tref is the temperature at STC conditions (refer-
ence conditions) and Eg is the band gap energy. 
 
2.2.2 Series Resistance Rs 
 
The second equation in this method is based on ex-
pressing the series resistance as function of ideality 
factor n. To find this expression we use the three re-
markable points in datasheet: open-circuit point, short-
circuit point and maximum power point:

2.2.3 Parallel Resistance Rp, Photo Current Iph  
and Saturation Current I0 
  
To extract the parallel resistance, the photo current 
and the saturation current, we find three equations as 
function of series resistance Rs and ideality factor n. 
Exploiting the equations (5), (6) and (7), Rp, Iph and I0 
can be written as [12]:

The proposed extraction method of the five parame-
ters from datasheet can be summarized for three steps: 
– Find the ideality factor n from equation (4). 
– Find the series resistance Rs from equation (9) by 
injecting the value of n. 
– Find the parallel resistance Rp, the saturation current 
I0 and the photocurrent Iph from equation (11), (12) and 
(13) respectively by injecting the values of n and Rs. 
 
2.3 Temperature and Irradiation Dependence 
 
The information cited in datasheet such as Isc, Voc, 
Imp and Vmp are measured in standard test conditions

(reference conditions). To calculate the five parameters 
values for various temperatures and irradiation levels, 
we use the following expressions [13, 17, 18]:

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 
 
3.1 Method Validation 
 
In order to validate the proposed extraction method 
from datasheet information, the multi-crystal  module 
KC200GT from Kyocera has been used in this study. 
The manufacturer’s datasheets information of these 
two PV modules operating under STC conditions 
(measured at 25°C and A.M1.5 (1000 W/m2)) are sum-
marized in Table 1 [17].

Table 2 show the five parameters extracted for 
KC200GT PV module using the proposed method. The 
results are compared with the recently published pa-
rameters related to the same modules by using only 
datasheet values. It can be seen that the obtained pa-
rameters have a good agreement with the values pub-
lished in the literature. We note that this estimation 
method has the advantage that it is fast and it needs 
any initial guesses or approximations. Furthermore, to

the PV characteristics.

4. CONCLUSION 
 
In this work, an analytical method to identify the five 
PV modules parameters using only datasheet values has 
been proposed. It is based on five analytical expressions 
to extract the parameters at standard test conditions. 
The results obtained for the KC200GT under different 
temperatures and irradiation levels indicate a good 
agreement between experimental and simulated data.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION  3.1 Method Validation  In order to validate the proposed extraction method from datasheet information, the multi-crystal  module KC200GT from Kyocera has been used in this study. The manufacturer’s datasheets information of these two PV modules operating under STC conditions (measured at 25°C and A.M1.5 (1000 W/m2)) are sum-marized in Table 1 [17].

The results are compared with the recently published pa-rameters related to the same modules by using only datasheet values. It can be seen that the obtained pa-rameters have a good agreement with the values pub-lished in the literature. We note that this estimation method has the advantage that it is fast and it needs any initial guesses or approximations.

It can be seen, the proposed tech-nique successfully describes the PV characteristics.   4. CONCLUSION  In this work, an analytical method to identify the five PV modules parameters using only datasheet values has been proposed. It is based on five analytical expressions to extract the parameters at standard test conditions. The results obtained for the KC200GT under different temperatures and irradiation levels indicate a good agreement between experimental and simulated data.   REFERENCES  1. C. Zhang, J. Zhang, Y.
