Abstract: Abstract-Photo-voltaic (PV) is a static medium to convert solar energy directly into electricity. In order to predict the performance of a PV system before being installed, a reliable and accurate model design of PV systems is essential. To validate the design of a PV system like maximum power point (MPP) and micro-grid system through simulation, an accurate solar PV model is required. However, information provided by manufacturers in data sheets is not sufficient for simulating the characteristic of a PV module under normal as well as under diverse environmental conditions. In this paper, a particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique with binary constraints has been presented to identify the unknown parameters of a single diode model of solar PV module. Multi-crystalline and mono-crystalline technologies based PV modules are considered under the present study. Based on the results obtained, it has been found that PSO algorithm yields a high value of accuracy irrespective of temperature variations.
