This paper originally proposes a hierarchical development of photovoltaic (PV) simulator for PV system design with different commercial PV modules by directly calling one of the built-in PV models that have well-verified accuracy and sufficient confidence. First, the modular models of some commercial PV modules are built as referenced models only using the available information in the manufacturers' datasheets. Theses PV models are then verified to accurately simulate the electrical characteristics at the standard test condition (STC). Then PV system designers can simply call the referenced model of a commercial PV module to design and assess the output electricity of a PV array with sufficient degree of accuracy and confidence. This paper is aimed to develop the modular PV simulator with user-friendliness, verified accuracy, and reliable confidence for PV system engineers.
