A semiconductor diode called a photovoltaic cell uses light to create electricity (DC). The electromagnetic spectrum, from infrared (IR) to ultraviolet (UV), can be converted into direct current by any PV cell (DC). In solar power systems, elements like photovoltaic cells are used. The focus of research on photovoltaic (PV) features and PV systems as a whole is on the effective usage of PVs. Photovoltaic cells have nonlinear power-voltage characteristics. Keeping an eye on the MPP of the PV array is essential for maximising energy production (MPP). Utilizing solar cells has become significantly more challenging in recent years. More time and money are being invested in updating the technology to increase module efficiency. In this study, a solar cell model is constructed in MATLAB/Simulink from scratch using common equations for electric current. Current-voltage and power-voltage curves for solar cells can be used to demonstrate the effects of different settings.
