Abstract- The focus of this paper is on one diode photovoltaic cell model. The theory as well as the construction and working of photovoltaic cells using single diode method is also presented. Simulation studies are carried out with different temperatures. Based on this study a conclusion is drawn with comparison with ideal diode. General Termss- In recent years, significant photovoltaic (PV) deployment has occurred, particularly in Germany, Spain and Japan [1]. Also, PV energy is going to become an important source in coming years in Portugal, as it has highest source of sunshine radiation in Europe. Presently the tenth largest PV power plant in the world is in Moura, Portugal, which has an installed capacity of 46 MW and aims to reach 1500 MW of installed capacity by 2020, as stated by the Portuguese National Strategy ENE 2020,
