AB  - In this study, an approach to determine the parameters of the equivalent circuit 
  of a photovoltaic module and other parameters that are needed to determine the 
  performance characteristics of the module is presented. The approach presented 
  is based on the electrical parameters specified by the manufacturer of the photovoltaic 
  module. To validate the approach presented in this study, the I-U characteristics 
  of a photovoltaic module were computed by the proposed approach and the results 
  were compared with those given by the manufacturer and almost, the 2 sets of 
  results were identical. Also, a method to take the effect of the cell temperature 
  on the I-U characteristics of the photovoltaic module is derived.
