Why is it necessary to use numerical methods (e.g. Newton Raphson) for solving de PV equation?. How the algoritm do that?. and what other methods are recommended?
Hi, I am not a specialist in PV equations but I suppose that this equation is nonlinear with no analytical solution. Thus, you can solve it numerically by using Newton's method (fsolve function in MATLAB for example).
Numerical methods have abilities to solve many problems that can not be solved using analytical methods. Numerical results can be explained geometrically and physically.
Probably because it is difficult to solve the PV cell equation using analytical method let alone finding valid analytical solutions. The idea is to obtain approximate solutions using numerical techniques.
