AB  - The characteristics of a single solar cell made by CdS thin film deposition on a silicon 
glass substrate were estimated using simulation models in this study. An aluminum 
electrode was attached to a silicon wafer to produce a heterojunction, and the indium 
fingers were fashioned into another electrode and connected directly to the CdS layer. <br/>
Simulation steps were performed using PV*SOL 3.0 software package and bias points 
(I<sub>SC</sub>, V<sub>OC</sub> ) models. In addition to the use of advanced programs such as MATLAB 
software (Shell SQ150 PV module), Mathcad 2000 program, and Origin Lab 2019 
program.Simulation programs for extracting photovoltaic parameters have been executed 
together with the laboratory procedures. The simulation programs and experimental 
procedures aimed in general to know the (current-voltage) and (power-voltage) 
characteristics of the studied single-diode photovoltaic.
