Abstract

The global photovoltaic capacity increased to around 760 GW in 2020, with a year-on-year increase of about 139 GW from 2019. As new photovoltaic systems continue to grow, there is a need for better and more reliable mathematical models to predict the performance of these systems. This article presents a comprehensive review of mathematical models for predicting the overall performance of photovoltaic devices, including their optical, thermal, electrical, and structural performance, as well as their exergo-economic analysis. The importance and significance of various aspects of these multi-physics models are highlighted, along with the future directions for improving the reliability and practical use of these models for design, performance evaluation, and optimization of such systems.
