  ABSTRACT: This work presents a method of optimization of the photovoltaic generator (PV) based on the electrical model with a diode. The method consists of solving a second degree equation representing the derivative of the power function. The current and the maximum voltage being determined, the maximum power is deduced. Four popular types of photovoltaic panels from different manufacturers were considered for the study: BYD Model (BYD 320P6C-36), Atersa Grupo Model (A-320P GSE), SunPower Model (E19-320) and Model operated in the 50 MW power plant of Nouakchott-Mauritania (JKM320PP-72-V) of JinkoSolar. A comparative study is carried out between the simulated results and the data of the manufacturer of different technologies. The results obtained prove the effectiveness of the proposed method and that the BYD 320P6C-36 model is the most efficient among the four different technologies studied.
