Simulation is done to see that the output parameter value of a solar module. Output produced a solar module as measured manually does not provide information that solar modules working at optimal power. Information on the performance of a solar module can be done with a piece of equipment called IV Tracer. IV Tracer work to collect data by varying the value of the working voltage of solar modules ranging from short circuit to open relations. IV Tracer circuits using MOSFETs IRF540 with snubber circuits produce 52 samples of data for 506 mS. The shape of the characteristic curve of current and voltage (IV) produced in accordance with the datasheet PSIM with the fill factor of 0.71.IV Tracer circuit can generate output parameters according to the theory of power changes to variations in temperature values of 0.05% and variations in light intensity of 0.14%. IV Tracer circuit with MOSFET switching system and may dampen stepping snubber circuit voltage of -0.2 V in accordance with the solar module to be tested.
