Abstract

---

Obtaining accurate models for prediction of photovoltaic devices behavior is very relevant to make realistic simulations including these elements to obtain and enhanced performance of photovoltaic systems. In the plenary talk, a review of the mayor methods to model this kind of devices will be carried out, from both a theoretical and empirical point of view.
