The paper presents a study on two ways of modeling photovoltaic (PV) solar array in Matlab/Simulink environment. The simulation results indicate that, using the proposed model for the source of a PV solar array, the PV output power is higher and have slight variations that imply the choice of PV solar array model as being as close as possible to reality. This paper is useful in modeling PV energy production systems.
