Global restrictions on fossil fuel reserves and increasing environmental pollution have strongly boosted the development of renewable energy sources during the last decades. The need to have sustainable energy systems to gradually replace conventional ones requires the improvement of energy supply structures based mainly on clean and renewable resources. At present, photovoltaic (PV) generation is becoming more important as RES application due to the distinctive advantages such as simplicity of assignment, high reliability, absence of fuel cost, low maintenance and lack of noise and wear due to the absence of Mobile parts. In addition, solar energy characterizes a source of clean, pollution-free and inexhaustible energy. In addition to these factors are the decrease in costs and prices of solar modules, increased efficiency of solar cells, the manufacture of technological improvements and economies of scale. Photovoltaic modules are interconnected sets of photovoltaic cells (solar cells) packaged in an airtight housing. The modules are rated and called by their power measured according to standard factory controlled test conditions (STC equals 1000 W / m2 at 25 ° C and 1.5 atm). In addition, each module has a maximum voltage (Voc) and a current (Isc). These features are used by solar designers to create an efficient photovoltaic system.
