ABSTRACT: In the scope of Photovoltaic energy it is very important to have precise models for simulation in order to know performance of a cell or photovoltaic module, in such a way that it is possible to test their behavior. Modeling the reverse saturation current is not a trivial task, and there is a number of different approaches carried out by several authors. In this paper we present an analysis of the different models of the literature to study the behavior of the reverse saturation current. In order to get it, some simulations have been carried out in Matlab/Simulink, where the different definitions of the reverse saturation current have been used, obtaining different predicted results and discussing them, being the most outstanding conclusion that actually there are only two different kinds of models.

KEYWORDS: Photovoltaic (PV) - Photovoltaic module - Diode - Reverse saturation current - Matlab/Simulink.
